How long will it keep insulin cold?

It includes ice packs and we haven't had to be gone longer than 8 hours at a time yet, but it kept it cold that long.

Depending on where you are keeping it, and possible weather conditions, perhaps a few hours.

It has not been kept cold AFAIK. I have had good results by keeping it in the plastic wrap and storing it in a dark drawer, that's opened about 3 x /day. I like it because it seems to be just as readily absorbed as a sublingual tablet, in much less time. Do hold a dropper in your mouth as long as is practical, before swallowing, swallow half, hold it a little longer, swallow it all. The insides of your cheeks, your gums, and to some extent your tongue, all help the liquid to get to your blood stream almost immediately, instead of having to be processed by your stomach.

I really don't see how it would help much with that. Assuming the insulin starts at room temperature, it might slow the process just a bit, but I wouldn't count on it.

Just keep it in the freezer all the time and take it out when you need it. You'll be able to determine how cold you like it and how long the right temperature lasts for you.

Put it in the freezer at least 30 minutes to a few hours. I put it in a Ziploc bag.

I use it to attach my insulin pump. I used it throughout the summer because I perspired a lot. It works very well. The container says it is time resistant and waterproof. That is not the case. That said, again it does work well. It would last me about 4-5 days. I hope this review helps.

It stays longer than 15 minutes. If you keep it in the freezer over night, it will stay frozen all day.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

If the package is relatively fresh, the expiration date will be approximately two years into the future. It should be indicated on the end flap of the box and once you open it there will be a date on every packet containing a test strip. I suggest that you do some research on nutrition/diet and eat foods that lower blood sugar in your body as opposed to taking insulin shots... your call. Exercise and weight loss is primary.

I can't answer the question. I used the FRIO to carry one insulin vial that required constant cooling.

They should fit fine. The frozen ice pack keeps my insulin at the correct temp for at least two days as long as you dont put the bag in the direct sun. When we are camping for a weekend, we leave on a Friday and come back on Sunday. By late day, Sunday, the icepack is unfrozen but still cool to the touch. If I am going to be gone longer, I use a freezer zip-loc bag filled with deli-ice. It works great.

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

It keeps the temperature in a range, depending on how you set it. Its a "room temperature" range, between 46 F and 77 or 86 F I believe. Its meant to protect your open vial of insulin from extremes. It is not appropriate for long term storage of unopened vials.

The pack comes with great instructions. You can freeze or just refrigerate the pack. If you freeze it you can take it out well before you use it and let it thaw a bit. What you do depends on the requirements of your Meds. I doubt that it will freeze your meds. Get a cheap thermometer and check the temps after freezing and is if it gets to cold for your meds. I use it for insulin and haven't had any issues.

At 65 degrees, your insulin vial should be nice and cold. I have had it at the beach for hours and my vial was still nice and cold. I did find that it kinda rattles around in the ice pack a bit, so I put a rubber band around my vial just to keep it from knocking around and rattling.

Currently using it the required 20minutes following surgery but I would say it stays very cold about 45 min. Very moldable.

Should be fine - you might need to "recharge" it once during that time frame with a soak in water but otherwise it should be fine. My mother used it on a 7 day cruise and her insulin pens and little jars stayed comfortably cool the whole time. I cannot imagine any issues on a 2-3 day drive out of the sun.
