Advice for diabetic passenger

Hi folk
Another question from good old starbuck but of more serious nature. I have done several searches on this site to find the answer but drawn a blank. My parents are due to fly out with Virgin Atlantic soon to Florida and my Mother is diabetic. As this will be the longest flight she will have been on since having this she is slighty concerned about the storage of her insulin as this has to be kept cool. The travel agent have advised her to contact the airline to inform them (which she has) but it would appear there are no Fridges on board? Can anyone advise of the best course of action and what normal procecdure is, as its very important she takes this. Obviosuly she has all the doctors notes you can think off to get through security etc etc. General advise and guidence would be much appreciated and to stop her from worrying so she can enjoy the holiday!
Thanks
