Seems the one thing everyone has in common is keep on keeping on, and live life to it's fullest. I admire you all for your drive.
Be safe out there

I'm on the pills, my wife has been on the shots for the better part of 30 years.
She has a small padded / insulated case with a cooling tray made specifically for transporting insulin she keeps in the refrigerator until needed.
Most insulin is of a organic nature, and retains it's shelf life best if kept cool.

Actually I feel very fortunate for a number of reasons.
Not having to worry about keeping the stuff on ice (so to speak) means I can continue to enjoy the ride without worrying about the insulin.
My Veteran's disability percentage rating is up there to where I don't have to pay for any medications and I know this stuff must cost a fortune to others.
I may ache a bit, I can still swing my leg over the saddle.
And the one thing that amazes me and I'm truly grateful for is; after all I went through in Nam the VA is taking pretty good care of me and the disability $$$ means I was able to retire and enjoy what years I have left on God's green earth. So whooda thunk at 19-20 years old the government would actually express concern for your well being at 63 years of age?
Support for the military and the Veterans in this country is phenomenal and I for one thank all of you for that. Sometimes the VA drops the ball, so it's a collection of voices and persistence by American Patriots that helps get things done.
Peace
