summer heat & insulin!?
This is my first summer with type 1 diabetes.. I'm going to the beach all day tomorrow, is it a bad idea to leave my insulin (novolog pen) in my bag, on the beach and in the sun, all day?! Will the heat destroy the insulin? If so.. any last minute tips to savor it?! Help, please!

JFramed - I like the Frio, too. Once you soak the Frio in water, it lasts for several days. It's a great low-tech solution.
It's also a good idea to keep your meter relatively cool and out of the direct sunshine. I know one of my previous meters would not let me test if the temperature was too high.
