❄️ How to keep your insulin cold in summer (without sacrificing style)
Traveling this summer or living in a hot area? Here are some tips and cute products to keep your insulin cool while still looking stylish.
High temperatures can impair the effectiveness of insulin and other medications. If you have diabetes, maintaining the cold chain is key to your safety… but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on aesthetics or comfort.
🧊 Why is it important to keep insulin cold?
Most insulins should be kept between 2°C and 8°C before opening. In the summer, especially if you're going to the beach, the countryside, or traveling, this can be tricky if you don't have the right accessories.
- Heat can impair its effectiveness.
- Insulin in poor condition can have irregular effects.
- Traveling prepared gives you peace of mind (and freedom)
