Diabetes Doesn't Define You

I got to try out a Climapak recently and wanted to share my experience with everyone.

In the past I've had some bad experiences with insulin expiring due to heat while I was traveling. I wrote about that here and here. 

Kewl Innovations has come up with a great solution, Climapak! 

This thing is awesome!  

It keeps your insulin pens or vials at a cool room temperature when you are on the go. Its powered by a rechargeable battery they you can charge in your car, outlet or even your computer's USB slot. I've found the battery to last a long time, several days if not a week. Its great!

Here is my Climapak loaded with my Novalog and Lantus. The unit is displaying the temperature inside of it, 70 degrees. 

Kewl Innovations gave me a little pocket thermometer keychain with the device. Something interesting that I noticed was the temperature inside my pockets. When I'd take my keys out, I'd notice the thermometer in the 90s!  It made me realize that my insulin pens are being constantly stored at that temperature. That is not a good thing!

Well, thanks a lot Kewl Innovations for coming up with this device. I love it!
