I recently bought a Frio wallet for my insulin after people on here recommended them to me. With this recent heatwave and a short break away from home, I am so glad I got it. Keeps my insulin cool, without it getting too cold. Big enough to hold two insulin pens and my pen needle fit in down the side between the cooler and outer wallet.

My frio wallet was delivered on Friday and I LOVE IT!!! It's like magic, haha! It hasn't got below about 28degC in my flat for about a week now so I'm so glad I finally got one (thanks to members of this board, I might add!)

I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing to keep injections cool. I guess it's kind of the best option available so it's worth it and maybe having a spare one to use in case the first one malfunctions is a good idea, same as having a spare blood test monitor. I'll probably be getting a spare one if we start getting this kind of weather more frequently.

I've got a frio and it works a treat! When I pull out my insulin pen it feels nice and cool, seems to work as my readings have been better this past week once it arrived :)
