[QUOTE="S2A, post: 1362982, member: 372556"] Hello Joe, I just found this thread. It seems like it hasn't been updated for a while, but if you're travelling in 2017, I might still be of help :) Regarding the renewal of your meds I can offer no advice. About keeping the insulin safe and cool... I've been using Frio wallets for travelling. Mine carries only four pens at a time (~20 days) but I believe they have bigger ones. I've also tried to book hotels with minibars or hostels so that I could keep my spare insulin cold. And I advise apartments/ hostels anyway because you can prepare your own food and control your blood sugar levels better. (At least for me, eating restaurant food several times in row has always been challenging.) Frio has only "failed" me once in Madrid (42ºC). But when I noticed the insulin was warming up I asked around for a little bit of ice/ those things that people use to put around bottles and keep them cold (what's its name?) - and everyone was really nice! I also used ice packs for travelling from one city/ country to another and I had no problems. But again, since you will be travelling for so long, maybe it's worth checking out mini - fridges that you can connect to a power socket? That will have you covered even for long (night) train rides. Enjoy your trip! [/QUOTE]
