I have a quick question, how can I keep my daughter insulin at the proper temp when we are out in this hellishly cold weather. I know we are going to be standing around outside for periods of time waiting for a bus since our car broke down, and I really dont want the insulin to get to cold. What do you guys do?
I use a pump, and since it's in my pocket it never gets too cold.
if you have multi use pens, an inside jacket pocket would be a good choice.
Like Joe says, an inside jacket pocket is a good choice...
I use pen cartridges and syringes (rather than a pen) and they are the idea length to put in a pocket of sorts (jacket or jeans) or, if without pockets, they fit quite nicely in a bra. When it gets below zero, keeping it close to your skin keeps it from freezing.
Good luck with the cold :)
