The 7 Best Insulin Cooling Cases Available In 2024

Looking for the best insulin cooling case to keep your insulin cool when you need it most? Look no further! We look at the best products available today..

We need insulin to live, simple. 

So, it’s very important to ensure that we keep our insulin safe in everyday life. 

In certain circumstances, we can put our insulin at risk of dying ; particularly when flying with diabetes supplies .

But thankfully there are ways to counteract this by using insulin cooling cases !

Below I’m going to take you through everything you need to know about insulin cooling cases and about keeping your insulin cold. 

What are the different options for keeping insulin cold? 

Thankfully we live in a world where innovation is high and that results in a lot of different options when it comes to keeping your insulin cold. 

Naturally, the best way to keep our insulin cold is via the fridge, but we don’t always have access to a fridge, especially if we are travelling, out shopping, camping, etc .

So when you don’t have access to a fridge, your next best option is an insulin cooling case! 

I’m going to take you through the best insulin cooling cases available on the market today, and show you what my favourite product is for keeping insulin cold. 

The best insulin cooling cases available today 

1. vivi cap - insulin cooler travel case - keeps diabetes medicine pen safe.

vivi cap insulin cooler

What is the VIVI Cap: Thermal Insulin Pen Carrying Case ?

If you use insulin pens, rather than insulin vials for an insulin pump, then this is the PERFECT product for you.

This innovative product allows you to keep your insulin pen safe whilst on your travels, so it won't overheat or freeze.

Some highlights of the product include: 

  • Works every day for years with no maintenance:  This product is an investment into your insulin cooling future. You won't need to replace it, it won't go "moldy", so you can feel confident it will continue to work for you when you need it most.
  • Built-in temperature sensor with easy to read temperature indicator: This is a very cool feature that will actually let you see the temperature that your insulin is at. This takes away the guessing game, so you can always be sure your insulin is cool when traveling.
  • Small & lightweight: This product is not going to take up valuable space in a backpack, suitcase or even handbag. It's small enough to fit in your purse, so perfect when you're sightseeing in the city, or heading out for dinner.
  • No need for water, ice packs, refrigeration or battery charging: a fuss-free product for those with insulin pens! 

I am actually in the process of reviewing this product, so I will add even more thoughts soon, but on first impressions, this seems like an excellent product, especially if you're a frequent traveler like myself.

It's perfect for taking your insulin out for the day, say if you're heading to the beach, or even going on a day-hike, day excursion, whatever it may be.

You can pop your insulin in the VIVI Cap and be sure it's going to stay safe!

A great product to add to your diabetes packing list.

Go ahead and buy it here! 

frio bags

Let’s start with the product I actually use.

I’ve been using Frio bags to keep my insulin cool for around 6 years, and I can honestly say, they haven’t failed me yet.  

Here is some information about the Frio insulin cooler to help explain what the product is, and what exactly it does. 

  • Frio bags are a unique product which is an evaporation cooling pouch that works by keeping your insulin cold when it’s not in the fridge. It’s simply activated by soaking it in cold water for a predetermined amount of time (it depends on the size of your Frio bag, but instructions are provided) 
  • It keeps your insulin between the temperature of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) for 45 hours minimum, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F)
  • It can be reactivated for subsequent periods of 45 hours minimum for up to 28 days (however I personally have used them much longer than this)
  • They’re stylish and come in a range of designs and colours 
  • They actually work! 

Bottom line: This is my top recommendation for travelling through airport security with diabetes .

3. 4ALLFAMILY 72 Hour Insulin Cooler - Best insulin cooler for road trips

4allfamily72 insulin cooling product

This is another insulin cooling case option that's pretty unique!

The guys at 4AllFamily have sent me one to try out and it's an insulin cooling device that is in the form of a stainless steel cup.

The unique thing is that it looks like a coffee cup, so doesn't look "medical" which is something appreciate.

I hate things that look too medical.

The 4AllFamily 72 Insulin Cooler works in two ways:

1. Firstly there is the Biogel bottle , which you can refrigerate for 6-8 hours in advance then put it in your cooling case along with your insulin and cover it up!

2. If you've got access to electricity, ( even the lighter in your car ) you can put the insulin into your vacuum bottle and cover it with the black cooling cap. You then connect it power with the USB (have it on 30 minutes before you put your insulin in).

This combination of two ways to keep your insulin cool while on the go means it will pretty much keep you covered for all situations . Whether you're road tripping in a car or campervan, backpacking Asia, or even just on holiday!

I think that's really cool!

  • Can keep your insulin cool up to 72 hours
  • It's versatile and offers a variety of cooling methods in one product
  • It can be used with in-car 12V when adapted to a USB so a brilliant option for road trips!
  • Comes with a 1 year warranty
  • They only seem to have it in blue (which is nice, but maybe not for everyone)

Pro tip: Use the code THATDIABETICGIRL to get 10% off your purchase!

4. BreezyPacks - My favourite for keeping insulin cold!

breezy packs

BreezyPacks are an awesome company that creates a really unique insulin cooling case.

They work by using a unique chemical absorbs energy when the temperature is hot outside and actively cooling the content of the case (PCM). When the temperature drops, the PCM regenerates by itself.

This basically means can simply pop your insulin inside and it will continuously be protected without a time limit. This is because the case recharges itself every night which I think is really cool!

Quick note, in order to recharge, they need to be at a cooler temperature (24°C/75°F or less) or, if you are short on time then you can put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

The product comes in two different forms, the BreezyBasic and BreezyPlus , which are basically the same thing, but differ in the amount of time they can protect your insulin in the heat.

The Basic can protect your insulin on a hot day for up to 6 hours, and the plus for 9!

You can fit 2 insulin pens in both, and probably around 3-4 vials (but I will confirm this when I use my product) 

What's also great is that the "plus" model can withstand even extreme climates, surviving entire days in the heat and temperatures of up to 46°C/115°F for shorter durations which is perfect if you're off on an adventure hike, or a day of city sightseeing.

I'll have a full review of the product soon which I'll link to when it's ready, but what I really like from first impressions, is the fact that there is no issues or complications or annoyance with "setting" it up, basically because it doesn't need any.

There's no need to drop it in cold water, like you have to with a Frio bag, or charge it, or even refrigerate it, and that's really cool.

Another great thing is they deliver worldwide which is useful!

I think this looks like a great placed product for day trips with diabetes, trips to the beach, camping trips, hiking adventures, or city breaks.

They're also creating a larger version coming out this fall, which will be able to hold even more insulin which will be a great solution for longer holiday trips AND backpacking adventures.

4. Poucho by Medicool - Great for keeping insulin cold during power outages 

best travel insulin case

This is another cooling wallet available from a different company known as Medicare.

This insulin cooling case appears to work in a similar way to Frio bags, however, I’ve not personally used one. 

Here are the important facts about Poucho : 

  • It’s easily activated by placing in cold water 
  • They can stay cool for up to 4 days 
  • There are two different colours and 6 different sizes to suit insulin pens and insulin vials 
  • Great for keeping insulin cold during power outages (which is something you often forget to consider!)

5. Eono by Amazon - great cooler for day trips

best travel insulin case

Eono is a new product developed by Amazon and it works in a similar way to the other insulin cooling products I’ve mentioned. However, it uses ice-packs rather than a smart in-built cooling system.  

There are some advantages too it, including the fact it’s available on prime, and cheaper.

But let’s see how it compares in terms of ability:

  • The insulin carrying case has the ability to hold 4 ice cooling packs and a variety of insulin pens and vials
  • Before use you will need to put 2 or 4 cold gel and freezer to shape for 6-8 hours
  • The frozen ice pack could ensure the inside temperature at 2-8 degrees around 6-8 hours and keep it at the same condition for about 3-4days under 20 degrees
  • I would say this cool bag for insulin would be more suitable for day trips rather than long extended trips 

6. Lekesky - Another great option for shorter trips

best travel insulin case

This product is another insulin cooling case that makes use of ice packs. 

This means I would personally recommend Lekesky for shorter travel days and trips, and generally less stressful situations . Here are the facts: 

  • Keep insulin at 2-8℃ for 6-8 hours. Keep insulin at 25℃ for 48-72 hours
  • You need to freeze two cooling tablets in the freezer for 6-10 hours beforehand and the insulated panels help keep them cooler for longer periods
  • It comes with a unique and innovative Temperature Indicator which means the temperature of the insulin can be seen directly without using a thermometer
  • There is a 1 year warranty with the product for satisfaction 

BONUS: Medangel One Sensor - Fantastic tool for all bags 

the medangel one sensor

MedAngel is not a specific insulin cooling travel case, rather it’s an innovative piece of technology that allows you to track the temperature of your insulin in different situations. 

It can even make sure your insulin cooling case is working properly as you can pop the Medangel One Sensor into the case and monitor the temperature. 

The Medangel one sensor can also be placed in your fridge to ensure the temperature is correct and remove the risk of your insulin freezing. 

The sensor is synced up to an app on your phone via Bluetooth and it will give you alarms as to when your insulin is too warm and too cold. 

It’s a really great product to have when travelling, especially if you’re giving your insulin to a hotel fridge, or basically any fridge you don’t typically use. 

It’s also a worthwhile investment because you only need to replace the battery when it runs low.

Why do we need to keep insulin cold? 

keep insulin cold in heat

Insulin is a live product that keeps us alive, and in order for it to function well we need to keep it at a certain temperature.

If our insulin is exposed to extreme heat or cold, and fluctuates between these two temperatures, then it can destroy the insulin which will make it no longer suitable for use. 

Before you look at ways to keep your insulin cold, you actually need to consider whether it needs to be kept “cold”. 

What I mean by this is that if you’re taking your insulin away for a day and you aren’t expecting any crazy temperatures, then your insulin will be completely fine in your diabetic supply bag or purse, whichever you use, rather than an insulin cool pouch. 

But, if you’re visiting somewhere very cold, or warm, then it’s best to take extra precautions with an insulin cooling case to help ensure your insulin stays safe. 

Insulin can react adversely in cold temperatures. It can easily freeze when exposed to temperatures that it isn’t suitable for. 

I once put my insulin in a hotel fridge (or what they told me was a fridge) and it froze my insulin, solid. You cannot use it after it defrosts.   

The insulin is dead and needs to be disposed of. 

Insulin can also react in warm temperatures. The heat can cause insulin to go cloudy or form clumps, and these are both indications that your insulin has died from exposure to the heat and it should again be disposed of. 

What temperature should insulin be unopened? 

For unopened insulin, which is still in the box, and hasn’t been used yet, the ideal place for your insulin is in the refrigerator at a temperature of around 2-8 degrees C [ 36-46° F]. If refrigeration is not possible, it can be kept at room temperature [15-25 degrees C] for 28 days. 

What temperature should insulin be after opening? 

insulin cooling wallets

For insulin that’s already been opened and that you are currently using the ideal temperature is 56°F and 80°F (13-26 degrees C).

And the insulin cooling cases we will discuss below will help you ensure your insulin stays at this temperature range. 

Other things to do note about insulin temperatures 

Insulin is supposed to have a 28 day expiration date, for in-use insulin. However, I honestly do believe this is just a guideline. 

Because I travel around the world with the same bottles of insulin for up to 4 months at a time, and my insulin has never, ever expired.  

So, I would simply use your insulin and if you find your blood sugars aren’t in range, or you don’t feel like it’s working well, then you will know it has expired. 

It’s also recommended that in-use insulin should be kept at room temperature, and NOT in the fridge, but again, I keep my in-use insulin in the fridge and have yet to have any problems. 

This is a statement from the insulin company I currently use: 

Eli Lilly – Manufacturers of synthetic insulin's – ‘human’ and analogues.

"Our Humulin range has regulatory approval for in-use out of the fridge for 28 days. We have also performed our own in-house studies, however these were also completed after 28 days. Therefore, we do not have any data on in-use of Humulin vials after 28 days and thus, although we have no information to suggest that there is any problem with in-use vials stored in the fridge after 28 days, without data to support this we currently can only recommend in-use for 28 days."

Remember that insulin has an expiry date which is different from the 28 day use date.

Don’t use expired insulin. 

Some insulin's last longer than others, you should check with your doctor, or the insulin manufacturer themselves to find out how long your insulin is supposed to last. 

Choosing the best insulin cooling case for you

As I mentioned above, the only product I’ve used consistently is the Frio insulin cooling case and I also use the Medangel One Sensor , which has proved useful when I’ve been travelling. 

It’s saved my insulin a few times now which is great! 

So if I had to choose one product out of them all to choose, then it would naturally be a Frio bag ! But that’s not to say that I won’t try other products in the future, but for now, the Frio bags have never let me down, so I don’t need to change products just yet. 

Before I found these products, I used to simply find a picnic bag and put some ice blocks inside them. 

I did this when I took a trip around South America, and it was honestly the most awkward and worst thing I could have done. 

I had to carry a bulky bag with me, which was unnecessary, and every day I had to keep re-cooling these massive ice blocks.  

Thankfully, when I did some proper research, I found these great products instead. And now that there is lots of choice on the market, you’ll definitely be able to find something to suit your insulin cooling needs and if you're looking for a diabetic friendly gift , these insulin cooling cases are always a good choice!

So there you have it!

The best [& cheapest] insulin travel cases in 2024.

Cazzy Magennis

When it comes to travelling with insulin, the one thing we need to sort before we start planning anything else is how to make sure our insulin is cool whilst travelling . Insulin is the drug that keeps us alive and helps us regulate our blood sugar to ensure we enjoy traveling, so without ensuring it stays at the required temperature, our insulin will die.

Insulin, like other medications to treat chronic illnesses, are sensitive to heat and need to be stored at a temperature of between 2 to 8-degree °C

So, a good quality insulin travel case is the way to achieve this.

I’ve spoken lots of times about ways to keep our insulin cold when travelling, but I’ve mainly put my focus on Frio bags.

‍ I still believe Frio bags are fantastic , but I thought I’d venture out on the internet and search for other varieties of diabetic coolers for insulin that may be on the market.

Low and behold, I found a few other products, so here is a complete comparison of all the insulin travel cases I found on the web and the benefits of each!

PSSST, do don't go travelling without medical ID!

1. BreezyPacks

breezy packs

What are BreezyPacks?

Looking for an easy breezy insulin travel case that keeps your insulin cool? Then look no further.

The BreezyPacks are cute, small cases that can hold temperature-sensitive medicine, i.e. your insulin!

They work by using a unique chemical that absorbs energy when the temperature is hot outside and actively cooling the content of the case (PCM). When the temperature drops, the PCM regenerates by itself.

What this means is you can simply pop your medicine inside and it will continuously be protected without a time limit. This is because the case recharges itself every night (pretty cool!)

They need to be at a cooler temperature to recharge (24°C/75°F or less) or, you can also pop them in a fridge for 1-2 hours to quicken the process)

The fact that you can keep reusing this product means that it's a worthwhile investment and means you'll get great value for money. Your insulin will be protected on all your future adventures.

I also love that its made with recycled and eco-friendly materials, a VERY important feature in todays world! 

There are currently 2 models on offer (with more in the pipeline).

The BreezyBasic and BreezyPlus.

The basic can protect your insulin in a hot day for 6 hours , and the plus for 9 hours.

**note this was tested at 38°C/100°F, away from direct sunlight**

Both of them fit about 2 insulin pens, and I'm not sure on insulin vials yet, but I'll let you know when I know!

The "plus" model can withstand even extreme climates, surviving entire days in the heat and temperatures of up to 46°C/115°F for shorter durations which is perfect if you're off on an adventure hike, or even taking a trip in the Amazon rainforest (this would have served me useful back on my Brazil backpacking trips!)

I'll have a full review of the product soon which I'll link to when it's ready, but what I REALLY love from first impressions, is the fact that there is no issues or complications or annoyance with "setting" it up, basically because it doesn't need any. You don't need to dip it in water (like a Frio bag), or charge it, or even refrigerate it, and that's really cool, especially for someone like myself who likes things to be easy, breezy....;) 

Another great thing is they deliver worldwide which is useful!

I think this looks like a great placed product for day trips with diabetes, trips to the beach, camping trips, hiking adventures, or city breaks.

  • Easy to pack size
  • Continuous use (recharges itself at night)
  • There is no faff, you don't need to dip in water, freeze, or do anything for it to work!
  • Recyclable materials and good for the environment
  • 3 year guarantee (that shows confidence!)
  • Holds a smaller amount of insulin (this is coming from someone who goes on VERY long trips, so I think for the average diabetic taking an average trip it would suffice!)-- I know they have a BreezyMega coming soon which will be perfect for longer trips.
  • If I find any cons when I test the product I'll pop them here
‍ Buy your BreezyPack right here!

3. The 4ALLFAMILY 72 hour Insulin cooler travel

4afamily72hourinulincoolingproduct

This insulin cooling case is actually pretty cool! The guys at 4AllFamily have sent me one to try out. This is basically an insulin cooling device that is in the form of a stainless steel cup.

What I actually love is that it looks like a coffee cup, so doesn't look "medical" which is something I always try to avoid when choosing insulin cooling cases.

It actually works in two ways: Firstly there is the Biogel bottle, which you can refrigerate for 6-8 hours in advance then pop it in your cooling case along with your insulin and cover it up! OR, when you have access to electricity, you can put the insulin into your vacuum

bottle and cover it with the black cooling cap. You then connect it power with the USB (have it on 30 minutes before you put your insulin in).

This combination of two ways to keep your insulin cool from one device means it's a perfect travel companion. You're able to keep your insulin cool when you don't have access to a fridge, THEN when you reach electricity, you can switch to the USB.

I think that's really cool! 

  • Can keep your insulin cool up to 72 hours
  • It's versatile and offers a variety of cooling methods in one product
  • It can be used with in-car 12V when adapted to a USB so a brilliant option for road trips! 
  • Comes with a 1 year warranty
  • They only seem to have it in blue (which is nice, but maybe not for everyone)

4. Medicool

The next insulin travel case I want to look at is Medicool.

Medicool actually is a website that houses a whole host of different insulin travel coolers and cases, so I’ll go through the ones I discovered on my searches and weigh up the pros and cons for traveling with type 1 diabetes.

Dia-pack: This is an insulin cooling case with a unique twist.

Not only is this insulin travel case fully insulated, but it comes with an electronic temperature display that reads the outside temperature! How cool is that? Pretty cool I thought. This product can keep your insulin cool for up to thirty hours, and it has the ability to carry needles, syringes and other medications you may require. It includes a re-freezable gel pack, meaning it can be reused, and a shoulder strap, which I guess is convenient if you want to hold it in your shoulder.

  • Keeps your insulin cool for up to thirty hours. This is good for flights, long car journeys, or even an overnight stay camping, at a hostel with no fridge etc. It’s also good for 24-hour bus journeys, but honestly, I ain’t going to recommend you even take one because they are so uncomfortable!
  • Comes in a range of different cases to suit different occasions, the elite, classic, deluxe and the day mate which is perfect for those day outs.  You can buy replacement gel packs to reuse the cooler
  • They don’t seem very “fashionable” and not a lot of different colours on offer. You have to pay for replacement gel packs which means extra expenses to reuse
  • To buy in the US
  • To buy in the UK

Medicool Pen Plus Diabetes Cool Bag

They are activated via water and are great for keeping insulin safe when it’s not being refrigerated.

  • It’s activated by water so pretty convenient when your travelling with diabetes
  • It can be re-used hundreds of times, which again is perfect for when you are on the road a lot
  • The cooler stays cool up to four days, which is good for city-breaks, camping trips etc
  • There are 6 different sizes to suit your insulin requirements.
  • There isn’t a lot of colour choice of product
  • 4 days isn’t as long as other products

But honestly, I think this is a pretty decent product, and perhaps I’ll get the chance to try them someday, but they are essentially the same as Frio bags, but Frio bags stay cooler for longer, which suits me better when I am travelling long-term, but these are a great choice if you are heading off on holiday!

  • To buy in the UK ...

6. The MediCool Insulin Protector

This is probably the least favourite of the insulin travel cases I’ve come across, not because I don’t think it’s useful, but I don’t think it’s a good choice for travelling with type 1 diabetes.

But, let's consider and look at the details.

The Medicool Insulin Protector Case can keep your insulin cool for up to 12 hours, so it’s definitely a good choice for a long road trip or flights or even a long day out at the beach. The problem is, it only holds up to two bottles of insulin, which really means, it’s not suitable for long-haul trips.

Two bottles of insulin would typically last me, around 20 days, give or take, which of course is fine for a 2 week holiday, the only problem is, that leaves me no room for spares, and it’s imperative that you take spares with you whilst travelling with insulin.

However, if you are on a short-term trip, then maybe this is the choice for you. It also comes with two cooler packs so you can refrigerate one whilst using the other. You can get it here.

  • Good for a short-term trip or day trip
  • You can’t carry more than 2 bottles of insulin
  • Doesn’t fit pre-filled insulin pens
  • Not a wide range of styles
  • Looks bulky and ‘medical’
  • Overpriced for what it is

Medicool insulin protector

7. iCool Prestige

This product keeps your insulin cool for 12, 24 or 36 hours , (depending on which version you buy), but it can be reactivated for another 24 hours, and so on so forth. 

The thing I really like about this product is that it has the space to organize around three weeks supply of your medication….which is a really great amount. Therefore, for example, if I am heading off on a trip to live in Austria for a month, (which I did), then it will keep my insulin cool until I arrive there and transfer it to a fridge, and it will have the amount of insulin I need!

However, it is an expensive choice coming in at 65 euro. But as far as insulin travel cases go, I’d say this doesn’t seem like a bad one.

They also offer a range of small cool bags for medication too, which means you can find something to suit you. But, it doesn’t have a wide range of colours and looks a little clinical. (I’m not sure if you have realised but I don’t like things looking clinical!)

8. Frio bags

Last, but by no means least, I’ll give a review of Frio. As you might well know, this is my product of choice and I have used it for 4 years now, (the same bags), and I have never had any insulin die. I think this reflects just how well they work. For me, they work even better than they actually recommend!

So, what are Frio Bags?

If you haven’t already checked out my other babblings about Frio, then you might not know that Frio bags are a device that keeps your insulin at the required temperature when you don’t have access to a fridge, so either flying, camping, hiking, etc.

  • Frio bags keep your insulin cool and safe, the required temperature for in-use insulin is 18 to 26 degrees, and this is exactly the temperature that Frio bags aim for.
  • They look good. I don’t think Frio bags cool “clinical”, which is one of the main reasons that I like them. I don’t like to look clinical, I like to look fun, and their awesome range of colours mean my diabetes can stay cool in purple and pink tones.
  • They come in a range of sizes.
  • Small Double which will fit two pens
  • Large Wallet which will fit 10 insulin vials or around 6 pens. I fit in around 12 vials in my case.
  • Extra Large Wallet which will fit around 15-17 vials for me
  • Sometimes I need one Frio bag, sometimes I need two...and on a three-month trip, I need three! I like that you can get a full range of different sizes to suit your trip. (I also like that I can fit in more than they recommend! :P)
  • Frio wallets can be reused OVER AND OVER again! The Wallet can be reactivated and used for subsequent periods of 45 hours minimum for up to 28 days- however, I have used mine for over three months at one time and I have never encountered any issues.
  • They are so simple to use: you simply activate them with cold water- nothing fussy! They say they last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your usage, but I have had my oldest Frio bag for three years and it’s going strong.  

Insulin travel case

I personally think Frio is the most reasonably priced for the style, quality and use you get from them! 

Plus, you can shop around on Amazon, and other outlets to compare prices to find a cost that suits you- either way, you're still getting a Frio bag!

I’ve purchased one of mine direct of Frio, one off Amazon, and another I was given to review by Frio themselves (Thank you!) I used them before I got given one to review (it was their newest design), so that doesn’t make me biased BTW! :P

I really can’t give any major cons to the Frio bags, because it’s the thing I use every time I am travelling, so if I thought there were any major concerns I wouldn’t use it!

  • Insulation and Cooling : Insulin needs to be stored at proper temperatures to maintain its efficacy. Look for cases with insulation and cooling features like cold packs or gel refrigerants to keep your medication cool without freezing it.
  • Durability and Protection : Travel can be rough, and your insulin needs to be protected from accidental bumps or drops. Opt for a case that provides sufficient padding and sturdy construction to keep your medication safe.
  • Portability : When traveling, you want a case that is easy to carry and fits well in your luggage or backpack. Look for lightweight and compact designs, along with features like handles or straps for convenient transportation.
  • Organization and Accessibility : Keeping your insulin supplies organized is essential. Look for cases with designated pockets or compartments to store syringes, alcohol wipes, and other accessories. Additionally, make sure the case allows easy access to your medication when needed.
  • Security and Discretion : Insulin is a valuable and essential medication for many. Look for cases that offer security features like locks or secure zippers to prevent unauthorized access. If you prefer discretion, consider cases that don't outwardly advertise that they carry medical supplies.
  • Ease of Cleaning : Insulin cases may come into contact with spills or dirt while traveling. Opt for cases that are easy to clean and maintain, preferably with removable and washable inserts.
  • Price and Quality : Set a budget for your insulin travel case, but also keep in mind that quality matters. Striking a balance between price and quality will ensure you invest in a case that lasts and protects your medication effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions about 12 Best Insulin Travel Case for 2023

Yes, you can bring your insulin travel case in your carry-on luggage. However, it is advisable to check the transportation guidelines of the specific airline you are traveling with, as they may have specific regulations regarding the transportation of medical supplies.

Many insulin travel cases are designed to accommodate either vials or pens. However, some cases offer adjustable compartments or inserts that allow you to store both vials and pens in the same case. Make sure to check the case’s specifications or contact the manufacturer for compatibility details.

Insulin can be stored safely in an insulin travel case for up to 28 days, assuming it is kept within the recommended temperature range. However, it is always advisable to refer to the specific storage instructions provided by your insulin manufacturer.

Insulin travel cases with cooling features like cold packs or gel refrigerants can help maintain a cool temperature for your insulin even without refrigeration for a limited period. However, they are not a substitute for proper refrigeration and should not be relied upon for long durations or in extreme temperatures.

While insulin travel cases are generally accepted worldwide, it is essential to check the specific regulations of the countries you plan to visit. Some countries might have restrictions on certain types of medical equipment, including insulin, or require additional documentation. Always consult with the relevant authorities or your travel agent to ensure compliance.

If your insulin travel case gets wet, remove the medication and supplies from the case immediately. Thoroughly dry the case before reusing it to prevent damage to your supplies. In the case of significant damage, consider replacing the case to ensure the safety and security of your insulin.

Insulin travel cases vary in size, but many are designed to be compact and portable. Some cases are specifically designed to fit in pockets or purses, while others might be too large. It is recommended to check the dimensions of the case and compare them with your purse or pocket size before making a purchase.

The warranty available for insulin travel cases varies by manufacturer. Some brands offer warranties for their products, covering manufacturing defects or damage that occurs during regular use. Make sure to check the warranty details provided by the manufacturer before making a purchase.

It is advisable to clean your insulin travel case regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on your usage and travel conditions, but it is recommended to clean it at least once a month or more frequently if you notice any spills or dirt. Always follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer.

While some insulin travel cases come with cooling gel packs, not all packs are universally compatible. It is best to use the cooling gel pack provided or recommended by the case manufacturer to ensure optimal cooling performance. Using incompatible gel packs might compromise the effectiveness of cooling.

As a clinician and clinical investigator concerned about better treatments for diabetes, the VIVI Cap is of particular benefit for my patients who require insulin shots, as the vast majority of patients use insulin pens for their daily injections.
Most people don’t realize how fragile insulin is, and how to store it for it to work the most effectively. The VIVI Cap is an incredibly simple solution to ensure that insulin is safe to use and that none of it goes to waste.

It Works to keep Insulin Cool and Safe! 

This cap works just as advertised. We use it when traveling to keep my son's insulin cool down here in Texas and other areas of the southwest that can get quite 'toasty'. It's nice to store it in our fridge between uses and simply grab it on the go. It's a great alternative to carrying a big insulated bottle with ice sticks... Thank you!

This really works

This technology actually works to keep the insulin at a safe temperature in my purse, without bulky and melting ice packs. It's convenient and compact. You can put the VIVI cap over a pen needle for even more convenience. They are expensive, yes, but how much will an overheated insulin pen cost you? Highly recommended.

best travel insulin case

When you’re diagnosed with diabetes, you don’t realize how much STUFF you have to always carry with you wherever you go. The items only multiple as time goes on and more treatment methods are added, etc. So where are you supposed to keep everything from your meter , to extra test strips, emergency medications and more?

For women, you can opt to keep everything in your purse, but most often this can become disorganized and only creates additional frustration when you have to find everything in a pinch. In this guide we’re going to take a look at some of the best diabetes carrying cases on the market for those with all types of diabetes and of any age.

If you haven’t found a case yet, then this guide can help start you on your journey of purchasing the right one. Or if it’s time to update your case, you may find one that suits your needs. I know with my kids with Type 1 diabetes, in the beginning I would have to purchase a new case every few months because of the wear and tear from carrying them virtually 24/7 no matter where we go. That was before I knew which were some of the best ones that not only provide you with somewhere to nicely keep all supplies organized but are durable enough to withstand frequent use. Here are some of my all-time favorites.

The key to getting the most out of your insulin travel cooler is to understand how and when to use each cooling method. 1. BIOGEL FREEZE PACK + USB LID: CHILL YOUR MEDS FOR UP TO 3 DAYS! This is by far one of the most powerful refrigeration solutions. It keeps your insulin and medicines cool for up to 3 days. You will use both the USB lid and the Biogel Freezing pack in combination.

For even higher cooling performances, have a look at our upgraded <a href="https://4allfamily-staging.myshopify.com/products/portable-medical-fridge-usb-insulin-medicines" Voyager: Travel Fridge for Insulin & Refrigerated Drugs. 2. BIOGEL FREEZE PACK ONLY: KEEP MEDICINE COOL WITHOUT ELECTRICITY! This is the ideal way to keep your meds cool when you don't have access to electricity. Suppose you're at the beach, traveling by plane, or spending a few hours in town, and it's 104°F / 40°C outside. The Biogel Freezing pack cooling method does not require any power source. It works as a super-powerful thermos bottle with the following refrigeration performances: At 104°F / 40°C: The Biogel Freeze pack insulin cooler maintains fridge temperature 36-45°F / 2-8°C for 28 hours and stays cool below 79°F / 26°C for 46 hours.

This means it keeps the interior temperature between 46-79°F / 8-26°C "forever" due to its cooling function. Our Voyager: Travel Fridge for Insulin & Refrigerated Drugs is more powerful and capable of keeping your insulin at fridge temperature, whatever the outside temperature is.
