Review on Portable Insulin Cooler Travel Case For Diabetes Medication - Goldwheat Medical Organizer Bag With 2 Ice Packs by Elizabeth Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great! Definitely buy the bundle with the freezer packs for added cooling time.

This system, which consists of the insulated zipper pouch and 2 freezer packs, did a good job for me on a recent trip. The pouch provides plenty of room for 2 Victoza pens and appear to have been able to accept a pen and a very compact glucose tester such as a pen style one. Note that with Victoza (vs. insulin) refrigeration is needed prior to opening to preserve shelf life, but once open you simply need to watch the temperatures you store the current pen. So on my 2 week trip, I kept one pen cool (using the hotel refrigerators to keep the packs at least cold) until on my second pen. At that point the zipper pouch is insulated enough to protect the contents. Definitely buy the bundle with the freezer pouches! Even if you just keep them cold suck as soaking in hotel ice - that will help much more than the zipper pouch alone.
