Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / June 2006Best cooler for HOT weather?
Texas summer isn't pretty, as Guy can attest. This is my first summer using insulin and I need suggestions for a cooler that'll stand up to 150+ temps for short periods, as that's how hot my truck's interior can get if I have to park in the sun. My only other constraint is size: It needs to hold three vials and as many as 9 syringes without weighing down my already overloaded "everything bag" in which I store my knitting, my wallet, my (small) DayTimer, my PDA, my phone, my test kit and any kid junk or husband junk that happens to be surreptiously dumped into it for "storage". Suggestions? +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... i don't know of any cooler that can handle 150F sorry the frio is good up to 90F to keep the ambient temps lower but it has to be 'open to the air' and not sitting in the sun kate www.friouk.com  SignatureJoin us in the Diabetic-Talk Chatroom on UnderNet /server irc.undernet.org --- /join #Diabetic-Talk More info: http://www.diabetic-talk.org/ http://www.diabetic-talk.org/freeveggies.htm I have no medical qualifications beyond my own experience.

Something like this (see link) might be helpful. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3584908 I have a large size for drinks on long trips. Works very well. If stopping for the night we plug it in in the room. Drinks and snacks stay nice and cold, but not frozen. Might not get as cool as you need in a very hot environment, never tried it. I understand you heat situation, DFW area myself. RB > >Texas summer isn't pretty, as Guy can attest. > > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > I understand you heat situation, DFW area myself. I doubt it. It says "Cools down to 40 degrees F below ambient temperature" Doesn't seem like that would be cool enough.

What color is your truck? Seriously - you'd be amazed how much cooler white is - I spent 30 years in the desert southwest - AZ and NM. > My only other constraint is size: It needs to hold three vials and as > many as 9 syringes without weighing down my already overloaded [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Suggestions? You might try one of the small soft side coolers with a couple of 'freezer packs' - probably wrap the packs in a towel. > +++++++++++++ > > Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. > This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. > Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |
