This is interesting..

""British Airways are unable to store insulin in aircraft fridges for various reasons. Diabetes UK (formally known as the British Diabetic Association) advise that insulin, in general, can be kept at room temperature (below 25 degrees C) for up to a month without losing its effectiveness."

I was on a flight back form BKK where my insulin got runined because the plane had faulty air conditioining and the cabin was up at 30 degrees constantly....made for a very unpleasant flt.
What was worse is that plane had been flying about like that for a few weeks so the problem was known about...so why on earth did they send it to a tropical country in the first place?
