Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

General note about traveling with Forteo. I found a “system” on Amazon called an “Insulin Cooling Bottle Medicine Cooler”. It basically consists of a double-walled metal thermos with a “bio-gel” freezer bottle that drops inside it. It comes with a thermometer to place inside the cooler, but since it only shows the current temp, I am using a high-low-current thermometer that I have. That way I can see not only what the current temp is (Forteo needs to be kept between 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit), but what the highest and lowest temps have reached while the Forteo is in the thermos. I tested the system, checking the temps every 8 hours, and it maintained the safe temps for more than 36 hours. I’ll be using this on an upcoming trip instead of the soft-side cooler with freezer blocks I have used in the past (that only worked “OK”).

I looked onAmazon, but there are so many I am not sure which bottle to buy. I am going to Cozumel for two weeks. Please help!

I use the 4Allfamily Nomad 48 hour insulin pens cooler travel case- has a usb cord to plug in on plane to keep cool for really long distances. Purchased on Amazon. Have travelled with this to Australia & New Zealand and meds stayed cool not frozen. Always get flagged with this when going through security and they make me take the lid off to show what is inside.
