Unglaublich praktisches Utensil für Kleinigkeiten, wie Medikamte, die gekühlt werden müssen. Innere Tasche mit Kühlkügelchen einfach nur ins Wasser legen und dann in die Hülle packen. Kühlt den Inhalt viele Stunden auch bei hohen Themperaturen.

This has helped my loved one in so many ways….My nephew has taking the diagnoses of his diesease pretty hard and it has changed his life in more ways then he cares to count…One of them being, how to keep his meds cold, and lugging around a small cooler for it…. Well I heard about this product and thought it was time to put on my cape and be a super aunt and so i ordered this for him…He loves it! he says this is the greatest invention since and I quote indoor plumbing! hahaha Thanks FRIO you have done an amazing thing with this invention and has helped my nephe in ways more then you may ever know. Living with diabetes is a big pain the butt and any sort of product that helps ease that is A ok with me. the packaging was nice, came quickly and at a great price. I’d order from this family pharmacy again….and again….and agin!

Most modern synthetic insulins are rated to not exceed temperatures of 86 degrees F. That temperature threshold is largely unstudied, and it’s just a swag guess that has been propagated forward from the days of beef insulin. In reality, 86 degrees will probably damage your insulin to some extent. Some insulins are rated even lower than that. At the very least we know that harsh sun and high temp exposure breaks down the insulin and results in unpredictable effects, and it seems the hotter you go, the more it loses potency. The amount of time exposed to the high temp and the maximum peak of the temperature are both bad for the insulin.
The idea of these Frio pouches is they create an insulating barrier around the insulin and use evaporative cooling to keep the insulin cool even in harsh sun environments. In practice I find these cases are almost useless, and the temperature of your insulin will eventually be exactly the same as the air temperature. I use a bluetooth temperature sensor inside the frio case right next to my insulin, and I wear it belt-style on the outside of my clothes so the pouch gets plenty of air exposure. On very hot days (basically any day with sun that goes over 86 degrees) the temperature sensor often alerts me that the insulin is sitting at or above the maximum temp of 86. The frio cases simply cannot keep insulin cool enough. It gives you a small buffer of time, but that’s about it. If you go out in 86 degree weather, the Frio will give you an hour, maybe 2, but then the insulin will be at or above 86. The only advantage at that point is the frio limits the direct sun exposure. So having your pump in this case is probably still better than having it directly exposed to the sun on your belt.
I have still had insulin that has been damaged in the frio case. That being said, I think they are probably better than nothing at all, and they seem to limit the damage to my insulin. If I don’t use a frio case the insulin will go bad within an hour or so of high temps, and I’ll have to suffer high blood sugars for the rest of the week if I don’t change out the insulin immediately. Most people don’t realize how sun exposure dramatically affects their insulin quality, but I take a very low amount of insulin (about 2-5 units per meal max) and I know immediately when it loses potency because I have to double my basal rates and double my meal boluses. With the Frio usage I notice a slight loss in potency but typically I don’t need to throw the insulin away, and it’s not a factor of 2x. My point though is that you will still get some sun damage if you’re out in hot temps all day.
It’s worth mentioning that you should never ever put the frio case inside of a bag or locker or any place where it can’t get constant air. They are completely worthless without a steady supply of fresh air. If you put it in a bag and then set that bag in the sun, your insulin will get damaged within a short time, guaranteed. Even my body heat keep can cause the frio case to heat up too much when it’s inside a bag.
There really is no other option if you are a diabetic and you’re trying to keep your pump insulin cool throughout the day. I use the frio cases despite their flaws, basically because there is no better option that still allows you to access the pump when you need to. You either use this or you suffer insulin damage and an extreme drop in potency. Active cooling devices have been attempted before, but nothing has really stuck around because they’re all bulky and ineffecient and expensive and you can’t wear them on your person. With the Frio I use a SpiBelt product to keep it fastened around my waist and it works ok. At least the Frios are relatively cheap, but they don’t do a good job of cooling insulin.
I’m hoping someone will come up with something better but for now I’ll keep using these and just try to limit my sun exposure, stay in the shade, stay cool, etc.

Perfect for my insulin pump

I use these wallets for my insulin vials whenever I travel. They keep the insulin from overheating by evaporation. I had a panic attack once when a hotel refrigerator froze everything in it. Fortunately, I had my insulin in the Frio; the Frio froze but the insulin didn’t . I don’t trust hotel refrigerators any more. The water soaked pouches also protect the vials from breaking.
It’s important to realize that they are not designed to keep insulin at refrigerator coolness, but at about room temperature or a little less so they’re not meant for long-term storage of insulin.

I can’t believe I’ve been living without this for 20 years. This is a must have for outdoor sports imo. Very easy to use and works surprisingly well, at least in my hot, dry climate.

We ordered this as a replacement for a FRIO wallet we have used for many years! Several years ago, I bought one for my husband for his insulin pump when we started traveling and at times were in countries with extremely warm temperatures. He doesn’t use it so much for his pump, but he prefers this size of wallet to use when he packs since it holds two bottles of insulin. There are many other sizes of FRIO products, but he particularly likes this size!! We are very pleased with the convenience of the FRIO packs!! We travel a lot so with the FRIO we don’t worry about the insulin when we are on group tours and moving from place to place on almost a daily basis.

This really doesn’t work that great. We followed the instructions- I think it just can’t stand up to Texas heat. We ended up buying a Stanley thermos to transport medication.

We ordered the Frio because we felt the insulin in our 4 year olds pump was getting too hot in the summer heat. She has to wear her pump in a pouch on her back because she is so young and the clips just don’t work for her. When we got the Frio in, we found that it was too big to fit into the pump pouch that we had and the pouch that came with it was too big to stick on her :(. So, for us, it wasn’t a good fit, but for an older child or an adult, it would be a great purchase. We actually used it to keep her bottle of insulin cool while we were on vacation staying in a hotel room, and it worked perfectly.
