    I also use weekly Bydureon injections. Do you have something that would fit 6 or 7 of the Bydureon pens when I travel overseas next year. They are quite big so I doubt this would even take one pen.

    I went over to England and Europe for six weeks. I brought three Glucology Cooling Bags. They worked great. Kept them in a small back pack, open at the top, so they could ‘breath’ when travelling. Once in hotel room left them on my bedside table. Every few days I refreshed them and good as new. I’m a type 2 diabetic. I highly recommend them

    I use Bydureon injections weekly but I think they would be too big to fit in the travel case and would love some information re flying from Australia to UK
