Insulin is not supposed to be "frozen." Does the frozen mat that goes inside this end up in contact with the contents of the bag (like a bottle)?

Though the ice pack in the pouch is only separate by a thin piece of polyester fabric, it will not freeze your insulin.

It fits behind a thin polyester pocket, so there isn't much insulation. Overall not the best product.

I carried HCG injections in this and they would stay cold, but did not freeze.

There is a thin piece of fabric that makes a sleve for the frozen mat to go in. Therefore it does not directly contact the contents in the bag.

Carry-on has never been a problem for me. Traveled to Las Vegas last week and had my insulin pump in my Frio pump pouch, no questions about the pouch. Also brought my larger FRIO pouch with vials and pens of insulin with me in my hand luggage on orher trips, also no problems.

Only time mine didn't freeze in 12 hours all the way, was when they were kind of insulated between some other stuff with another bag on top of it. Overnight, it froze the rest of the way. Try moving it in your freezer. I bought some more because they are awesome.

I have had to use this many times and have never experienced any freezing. Always had a full vial when I used it. I can't advise you on a partial vial.

It does not arrive cold, but I store mine in the freezer to keep the potency.

Every bag has sealed,has big sealer tape.When I had a foodsaver and sealing something wet and juicy,i would place a paper towel inside the bag at the top before sealing.frozen paper towel hurt's nothing.Good Luck

I have used the case several times and have never experienced any insulin freezing inside the case regardless of the amount of insulin left in the vial.

yes, just pop the entire mat into the fridge. The unique mat even stays cool when it's not refrigerated due to its innate cooling properties

I have never frozen mine, due to lack of freezer space. All of my unopened bags are kept in my pantry, which is in my garage. I am not sure whether or not nutrients are lost, but you may be able to gain this information from the Bob's website or from a dietitian. I have not had any issues with spoilage.

Put it in the freezer to get frozen and put insulin in it to keep cold on trips.

That happens because air comes in contact with it. The trays aren't airtight. Ziploc freezer bags are. :-) suck the air out of the bag, too, if you want.

This is more for insulin itself, not a pump. If you Google insulin pump ases you should find ones that work better for a pump. These cases, you soak in water to activate the crystals into a cooling gel to rep insulin fresh!

I have the Frio which is basically the same thing. It does keep insulin adequately cool for a long time (2 plus days) via evaporative cooling. I trust it completely. It is a much better solution than using ice. Enjoy it!

There is no room inside for anything except 2 vials or pens of insulin. Even if there was no insulin stored inside, I don't think you could store anything else inside unless is was shaped like an insulin pen.

yes BUT they do do not like srape things beside them,i use them to keep my insulin cold 1 will keep my insulin cold for 8-10 hours but remember they are small,perfect for a insulin carrying pouch

I put an extra cool pak in the supplies pocket and a thermometer in between two insulin pens. It was about 45 degrees after about 10 hours, which I think is OK. The insulin in the pens did not turn milky, which I understand to be the bad indicator.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.
