Re: traveling with insulin

[Guest guest]

You want to be careful not to freeze the insulin in your attempts to keep it

cool. I've just stored insulin in a bag with other supplies, making sure it's

not in direct sunlight or in a hot place. Just last weekend, we went camping and

it was pretty hot. But, I just kept my Humalog pen and Lantus vial in my little

diabetic bag, stuffed inside a duffle bag, and out of the sun, essentially, in

the shade. It wasn't even close to the temperature in a refrigerator, but I've

done this for years and have never had a problem.

traveling with insulin

Hi List,

I recently moved from medication in the form of pills to insulin. I am

planning to travel during the first half of July and was wondering how to

keep the insulin at or near room temperature as I travel during this hot

weather. I will be traveling by car. any thoughts are appreciated.

Lowell.
