SHBCInsulin Pen Carrying Case Portable Medical Cooler Bag for Diabetes with Protective Ice Brick - Convenient to Changing Needles with Each Injection

Haven't actually used it yet so I reserve the right to change my review later. However, I did test it. On the day we received it, I froze the block for 24 hours. When it was removed from the freezer it was 32 degrees, we set a thermometer inside the case. We set the block in the case, zipped it up and set it in a room that tends to get warm from the afternoon sun. At 11:38 am it read 42 degrees. At 12:52 pm it read 44 degrees. The outside of the case felt cool but not wet. At 3:05 pm it was still 44 degrees. At 6:27 pm it was 51 degrees. Although it stayed inside all day I'm not sure how it will do in a hot car unless you set it inside a small cooler (which we may do if we go out somewhere). The case was fairly heavy, heavier than I expected, certainly not something you would carry around in a purse. The zipper was tight, but worked ok.

As an insulin user, this "cool" case has proven perfect for traveling. The removable blue cooling block sits in your freezer until you're ready to hit the road. It accommodates 2 syringes (I use KwickPens) in its main compartment, with a "net" section for small accessories, e.g., pen needles. However, if you're traveling for so long (lucky you?) that you need to bring more, the "net" section can accommodate 2 additional syringes. It has kept my meds cold for up to 18 hours.On the downside, I've sometimes had to struggle a bit with the zipper. Hard case vs. soft zipper. I've gotten used to it. And the "net" section may not accommodate larger glucose meters.

Great for carrying my insulin when traveling

This is very good one for decent price. It can carry your insulin around in the safe temp zone for about 8 hours if you completely freeze the ice pack, put extra ice pack on the lid, and put the whole thing in insulated lunch bag. I have a smart thermometer to track the temp, it work at least 8 hours in hot ambient.If you put it in refrigerator (not freeze, because some hotel does not have refrigerator with freezer), it will work about 2 - 3 hours for hot ambient. BUT if you put the whole thing it in insulated lunch bag and topped it with ice from hotel, it will hold the safe temp for 8 hours.BUT1) It would be better if the ice pack design could get a little deeper and put second ice pack on top.2) Zipper is a little stuck.3) The compartment on the lid does not have zip, if you put some needles or alcohol pad, it won't hold.

I bought this case for my wife who travels frequently and wanted something to keep her insulin pens chilled for extended trips. The picture is an accurate representation of the case. There was plenty of room for two full size pens as well as needles, test strips and a glucometer. If you just put pens in there, you can fit four (4) full-size pens in there. I placed the ice brick in the freezer overnight. I checked the temperature with an IR thermometer and it read 30° and I placed it in the case and zippered the case closed and placed it outside, in the shade, during 80° weather. After 4 hours the ice brick temperature measured 47° and after 8 hours it measured 60° which I felt was acceptable. The zipper did seem a little bit stiff at first but I rubbed Chap Stick on the zipper and worked it a few times and wiped off the excess and it seemed to work better. The case is a hard outershell and has a reflective interior. This was definitely a good value for the money.

this is a great insulin carrier that is relatively portable. We need to carry two insulin pens for different types of insulin. this allows us to do so. however, the supplies that are necessary with such as alcohol pads and injection needles to in a small container to the side And oftentimes are falling out of the taylor when you open a period the cooler portion is great and keeps the insulin cold for a long time. It fits nicely in a purse although it is a little large inside the purse. Still, we were doing lunch bag with a cooler previously and ended up losing the lunch bag because it was just another thing to carry

GREAT. Keeps the the Humalog pen cold for roughly a day in a warm vehicle; longer in a cold one obviously. Plenty of room and very durable.

While the unit is sturdy in construction, it did not keep items as cold for more than a couple hours, it would be nice have the walls thicker or better insulation. And then the zipper broke, not something that can be easily repaired, but it was useful for about 12 months.
