[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1825756, member: 140811"] Insulin must be in your carry on luggage. If it goes in the hold there's a risk it will become frozen and then it will be useless afterwards. Most of us use Frio insulin pouches, you can recharge them in water, ( the sink in your hotel room). Once you've removed the insulin from your fridge at home the clock starts ticking and you normally only get 28days. Returning to a fridge won't help much unless the ambient temperature is greater than 30° or whatever the instructions on your insulin say the max is. The Frio pouch will probably be sufficient. It's a good idea to take more insulin and needles than you'd normally get through. For extra caution, you might get a travel partner to carry half your supplies so if a bag goes missing you still have enough to get by. [/QUOTE]
