 Perhaps the best available, but ... Jun 26, 2008
By Roy W. Latham
The idea is to hold all the necessary insulin supplies, including the meter and test strips. Gel packs from the 0 F freezer are put into a pouch next to the insulin. I don't know why the insulin doesn't freeze, but it doesn't. It seems to be the best product of its type available, but nonetheless it could be a lot better. The organizer uses clear "sticky" plastic for several of the pouches, and they are difficult to use, resisting putting things in and taking them out. Mesh would be much better. The pouches are really too small for standard 1 cc syringes; they can be used, but only with difficulty. The insulin side of the case is difficult to zip when the gel packs are in place. It's the right idea, but needs redesign. There are no instructions as to what is supposed to go where, but that can be figured out.

Great Case although not all advertised parts are there Mar 13, 2010
By P. Duncan
This is a great case, durable and well made - much more so then any others I have used in the past. It has a lot of room and many pockets to allow you to set up what you need to carry in an organized way. I have no issue with zippering the cool side even when loaded with pens and vials and both ice packs.
My one disappointment is that it is advertised with a detachable container for used sharps and supplies to hold them until you can move them to an appropriate permanent container, however the case came with 'snaps' where this container must attach but no container as it is showing the in the images and mentioned in what comes with the case. One of the several things I was looking for in a case was a special container like this so I did not have to devote a pocket to playing the role or carrying a separate container. I have looked and there does not seem to be anywhere this container is sold separately so I am bit bemused by why it was not included in the original packaging. The case came sealed in its packaging so I don't think it was originally there and just strayed.
Update: The seller was very quick to send me a replacement for the medical waste insert - apparently the manufacturer left it out and as the case is sealed in its packaging the seller has no way to know that until the packaging is opened
The case was shipped quickly and i got it in a few days and that was great as my last case had started to come apart and was dropping supplies.

 Medport Diabetes Travel Organizer Mar 17, 2010
By Rheta F. Caunitis
LOVE this bag. It holds enough supplies to actually last the two weeks and even has room for the testing logbook. It keeps every thing in one easy to find place when traveling. Cooler pack stays cold for a very long time, can go 2 days on one freeze.

Just fair, not large enough for two weeks Jan 15, 2010
By laugh462
We bought this for a two week trip overseas with a Type I child, and this is in NO way large enough for two weeks worth of supplies if you are on multiple daily injections. Perhaps if you were on a pump and all you needed to bring was backup, I don't know, but honestly we had a quart ziplock back in addition to this filled to the brim with everything we needed. We had insulin, pen needles, and syringes and this held, at most, a week's worth (you can get a lot of syringes in to some areas but not many pen needles, they're bulky). I agree with a previous review that mentioned the poor quality plastic on the inside of the pouch which made it difficult to get things in and out of the little pockets. I did appreciate having the seperate pouch for used syringes and test strips.
Finally, the cool-packs are not any special "medical" cooling gel, they seem pretty much the same as any other out there and last as long. We froze ours solidly overnight and 8 hours after putting them in the bag when we got to our destination (after being in ice-cold outdoors then normal temps inside) the insulin was fine but the gel packs were cool but nearly melted. There is absolutely no way they would have lasted 18 hours. The pack is fine on it's own merits, hence the rating, but the claims made for it were unsubstantiated and proved exaggerated. I will not buy from this seller again on that basis.

OK, but design needs improvement Sep 29, 2010
By kimberly2000
"kimberly2000"
I use pens (2 types) and have not been able to find a case that holds enough pens for a month-long trip. This fills the bill IF you use the vial holders for the pens -- 10 fit easily this way, which is way more than enough. That said, this case has drawbacks and I hope the maker improves it. On the dry side, the vinyl pouches are poorly thought out and executed, and the material seems set to rip sooner rather than later. On the cool side, the envelope for the gel packs is about an inch short. Stitching is crooked all over. The biohazard envelope is a nice touch but truly you'd get the same result tucking a disposable ziplock bag in that space.
