Cooling Wallet - Insulin & GLP-1 Cooler for 45+ Hours - GLP-1 Shots Supplies - Blue - Duo

I bought this product for my teenage type 1 diabetic son. He needed independence and this gives peace of mind. It does not leak! I read a review stating it leaks. After recharging with water and only while it's wet in the water their may be a very slight film on the water. It's likely from the gel beads, but to claim it leaks is ridiculous. It's much better to chatge every 2 to 3 days if you're going to use it continuously. My son often forgets to recharge with water and the beads get dried out if you do this. This little bag is amazing! It keeps 2 pens perfectly (unless you overcharge!) If you do overcharge be sure to put medication in with the lid on top sliding pen in with counterpart first. This way you don't have to try and get a lid out! This only happens that the fit is too tight if you leave in water too long. The learning curve isn't that hard. I'd recommend using a timer. Start with 2 minutes per side in cold water and continue flipping until product feels full. It will literally puff up! First time or after not using for a while takes longer to charge. Love this little thing! Now if only they made them specifically for epipens! Not to people who don't understand the concept os this bag, it keeps your medication at room temp! Once insulin is removed from fridge for use this is recommended! Nobody wants to put refrigerated insulin in their body! It can hurt/sting. Also remember it's perfectly safe to store your insulin at room temperature and use for 28 days! Some people write reviews complaining this product doesn't keep their child's insulin at 45 degrees. It seems they don't understand that's just when refrigerating for long term storage that u have a max temp of 46. Personally I keep our insulin in a seperate mini fridge and store around 40°. Recommend Temps are 36° to 46° F or between 2-8°C. That's for long term storage!!! This Frio wallet is for daily storage at room temperatures! Room temperature storage is between 59° to 86° F or 15° to 30°C . This keeps it perfectly in that sweet spot even when in the heat when used properly! Sweet spot being 20–25°C or 68–77°F! Incredible product.

Bought this to safely store insulin during travel and hot weather. What I like • Keeps insulin cool for over 45 hours without ice or electricity • Just soak in water to activate—super easy and reusable • Compact size fits easily in a purse or carry-on What could be better • Doesn’t keep meds cold, just cool—won’t replace a fridge • Takes a while to dry out completely after use Bottom line: A reliable, no-fuss cooling case for on-the-go insulin storage. Perfect for travelers or anyone on the move, but look at 4AllFamily Insulin Cooler if you need refrigerated temps.

I have used Frio cooling cases for years and they work really well. They are made to keep insulin cool but will NOT keep anything cold, at refrigerator temperature nor frozen. Insulin is supposed to be stored long-term in a refrigerator but an open bottle or pen should be kept at room temperature or slightly cooler. Frio cases use evaporation and work perfectly for this purpose. If you don't follow the directions the case won't keep anything cool so I will do a quick re-cap of the directions for anyone who might have lost their directions. Remove the inner case from the Velcro-close outer cover. Place the inner pouch into a sink and fill the sink with enough water to cover the pouch. Allow it to absorb water until it is nice and puffy but not rigid, usually about 10 minutes. I don't set a timer but just check it after a few minutes. If it gets too rigid you can gently squeeze it to remove some of the water. Drain the water from the sink and let the pouch sit for a few minutes, then wipe lightly with a towel. Place the insulin or pens into the soaked pouch and put all of that into the cover. This will NOT leak! DO NOT put it into a Ziploc bag or other plastic. The really important thing to remember is that this works by evaporation so air needs to get to the pouch. I keep mine in a loosely packed tote bag or a purse, or on the car seat. Don't pack it into a suitcase or tightly closed bag because it won't work. I'm not sure if this will work on hot summer days when I need to leave my insulin in a closed-up car for several hours so I will put the whole thing into a cooler with some ice packs. The padded pouch protects the insulin from freezing against the ice packs. I have never had one of these stop working so I don't know how long they can last. I usually end up losing mine and having to buy a new one.

Keeps insulin cool, though not exactly cold. (Maybe add an ice cube or two to athe water during the preparatory soak?). Very easy to use. Does not dampen the other contents of your pocket or purse.

The American Diabetes Assn says that insulin can be unrefrigerated up to 28 days if kept at temps lower than 86 degrees F. Eli Lilly says that Mounjaro can be unrefrigerated up to 21 days if kept at temps lower than 86 degrees F. Therefore, most folks, even when traveling will NOT need this product. However, when traveling abroad, using this product is a good precaution to take. I am traveling for 3 weeks to Southeast Asia in April so temps can be difficult to predict. I decided on the Frio Duo Cooler Wallet because it was small, and didn't depend on a freezer for a recharge. We'll be staying in hotels but hotel refrigerators typically don't have freezer compartments. When the wallet is in continuous use, it needs about a 5 minute cold water soak in the sink to recharge. Easy peasy! Be forewarned, however, that for first time use, you'll need to soak the wallet for 10 minutes, then 24 hours later, soak for 10 more minutes. It will double in size after the second soaking and be much more effective. Also, I used an instant read thermometer to discover that the wallet keeps the meds at a reliable 67 degrees F. For some reason, I expected the wallet to be at refrigerator temps which was not reasonable. The product is well-made, and easy to use.

UPDATE ON MY REVIEW BELOW: I would encourage you to read this before you a buy this product. I called customer support manufacturer at Frio when I returned from my trip. They said that there was only one study done in testing this product. They put it in a temperature controlled container at 100° for 48 hours and the medicine stayed at approximately 77°. The manufacturer considers this “cool”. I have included a screenshot of their brochure when I received the product (added below in the picture). You’ll notice that it says at the very top “Keep your medication cool”. However, below at the first bulleted point, it says keep medication cool and safe (note the asterisks mark). Below, at the asterisks, you’ll notice it says medication must be maintained at his recommended safe temperature. They told me that most medications could be safely used at room temperature so it was within the parameters of their advertising. I don’t think that when a manufacture advertises that the medicine will arrive cool, that 77° is considered cool. I think the manufacture should be responsible for the loss that I incurred. Of course they disagree. My initial review: I purchased this item because I needed a way to keep my medication cool for a long trip and it seemed like the perfect solution. It advertises that it keeps medication “cool” for 45 hours. I flew from New Mexico to Budapest Hungary and when I arrived in Budapest less than 28 hours later, I pulled the medication out of the gel pack and found that it was almost warm. I called my physician and asked if my medication was safe to take and was told that it was not and to throw it all away. This left me in a terrible situation because not only did I throw away hundreds of dollars worth of medication, it left me without the medication I needed for a month long trip. If you want to rely on a product to keep your medication coool, do not purchase or rely this product.

This worked great on my recent long haul flight

I thought this would keep my medicine pen "cool" on a trip to San Antonio - total travel time of 12 hours (flight + car). But when I arrived at the hotel, it was room temperature. Fortunately I could still use it, but "room temperature" is not the same as "cool" to me so I was disappointed. I followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter.

يحافظ على الانسولين بدرجة برودة معقوله حتى لا يفسد الدواء لاكن لا تتوقع انه يحمل قلمين مثل ما هو موضح ومعلن من البائع عند الاختيار ربما وصلني بالخطأ لقلم واحد لا أعلم

Lo compre de oferta, es excelente para viajar, de verdad enfría y por mucho tiempo, como ahí lo señala. Vale la pena!

Perfect

İyi

Keeps my insulin cool in all weather. Just wish it had an added pocket for the needles
