I've been diabetic for about 13 years and recently had to start taking insulin shots . Does anyone know of a good travel pack for carrying my insulin and other diabetic gear for traveling on my bike?

Couple of things to think about.....are you keeping your insuline in the frige? If so, you may consider a small insulated lunch box......another thing to think about...not sure if it is an option for you, but you may consider looking into an insuline pump.....kinda spendy, insurance may pay for it, may not, but is worth looking into.....

I'll talk to my dr. at the VA about the pump but I've only been on the insulin for 3 weeks so thats kind of premature. I don't have a lot of room in my saddlebags for a lunchbox was hoping for something smaller.
