Is there anyone who uses a frio wallet to carry insulin in the parks?

Our son is type 1 and on a pump (omni pod) but we will not be staying on site so I feel we need to carry his insulin with us just in case.

I would like to know if #1 it keeps the insulin cool enough in August FL heat, #2 if we can carry it in a backpack (is that breathable enough) and #3 can we re-wet it in a cup of water or does it have to be flat?

We have always just used a cooler when we travel since he has had diabetes but that won't really work for our Fl trip, I don't think. Thanks for any advice
 
yes a Frio will work that is what I use at the park and when I am at home ( l live where it is hotter then disney on average and never had a problem) the Frio should last all day if not 2 when you are at your hotel just put it in the sink in the morning for a few minutes to resock it and you should be fine. Ijust put mine in my back pack and it is fine you can always level your insulin at the first aid station in the park they have fridge there

I keep my insulin in an old pill bottle so it dose not break
 
Many people have written over the years about successfully using a Frio Wallet at WDW to keep their insulin cool. Everyone who has posted over the years has reported it worked well.

Thank you so much for this tip. I have dropped 2 bottles of insulin over the years and I was just talking to my husband about how worried I was about that! I usually leave it in the box but both times the box came open, so i was trying to figure something out. I love the dis
 

the small pill bottle I had worked great and it fits in to the Frio ( unless you over soak it, then you just have to wait a little while)
 
dH us not on a pump but he uses a Frio for prefilled pens. It works great.

Enjoy your vacation!
