I am off on a 2 week cruise at the end of next month and think I will need to take approx 15 insulin pens with me. I have a Frio wallet that I used last holiday and thought was great, but it won't hold enough pens for this trip.

It will be fine once we get there as they will all go into the fridge in our cabin, but does anyone have any suggestions for products that will hold sufficient pens (and keep them cool enough) but also won't cost the earth?

Thanks on advance,

Two Frio pouches! 😉

Hope you have a great time. Where are you sailing to?
 
We are off round the med - Barcelona, Monaco, Florence/Pisa, Rome, Naples (for Pompeii - cant wait!!), Corsica and finally Gibraltar!! My 30th birthday celebration 🙂
 
Sounds wonderful! 🙂
 
How long are you going to be travelling for before you can put the pens in a fridge?

Insulin keeps at room temp for at least 28 days so unless you are walking to the Mediterranean, I very much doubt you'd need to invest in any extra cooling.
