[QUOTE="janeridal, post: 1479710, member: 189749"] I've used Frio packs ever since my Type 1 diagnosis nearly 2 years ago. As far as I'm concerned they're a simple and reliable solution. Kept my insulin cool in tropical heat and humidity for trips of over 3 weeks. Once activated the packs need refreshing every 2 - 4 days (depending on ambient temperature and how much evaporation has happened). That only takes a minute or two and needs a bowl or basin of cool water. The only thing to remember is to keep the packs at the top of your bag, and the bag at the top of any pile of luggage (in a bus or whatever) so the evaporation can continue and not leave the inside of your bag damp. Thoroughly recommended! Oh, and as far as cost is concerned, once bought they're reusable for many trips. [/QUOTE]
