Just wanted to know if anyone uses a separate refrigerator for their insulin when on a long stay.
We are gone a couple of times a year for extended periods our longest about 3 months in the winter. I get my insulin from the VA in 3 month supplies.. Our TT refer is smaller than the home one so I would like to be able to have an additional yet reliable place for my medicine.A 3 month supply is about 9 boxes of pens as I take 2 different kinds. I did look at some of the dedicated medical transport refers but they are quite expensive. I also looked at Camping World and they have a nice portable cooler that runs AC/DC for a reasonable price with temp control. So putting this out to those that have used the portables for your reecomendations.
Do like DW and take the pens out of their boxes and put in a zip lock. DW can get like 30 pens in a zip lock abt the size of a head of iceberg lettuce. She keeps hers in the regular refer crisper drawer.
