Messages

Hi all,

1.Just heard, instead of 4 times daily regular insulin injections, there is a new techniques of which one can carry a machine and injects insulin as required to regulates the blood sugar level. Can anyone provide more information related to his new technology?

2. Frequently I need to travel, sometimes to very hot countries. Now I rely on dried ice to keep my insulin in place. Wonder whether there is any batteries operated containers that can keep the insuline cold and safe?


Appreciated if anyoe can help.

Hi there
I don't know that dry ice is a good idea, your insulin may get too cold. Check this site

They have some great cooling wallets for insulin.
