How to travel with your insulin or GLP-1

Plane

Always in your carry-on

Your insulin or GLP-1 travels with you in the cabin, never in checked luggage: the cargo hold can drop below freezing, and your medication can freeze.

  • Check current TSA and airline rules before you fly.
  • Keep the gel packs frozen solid when you go through security.

Car

Never in a parked car in the sun

A car parked in the sun heats up far above the air outside. That's why the case comes with you every time you park, even for a minute.

  • Head out with gel packs fresh from the freezer.
  • While driving, keep it in the cabin, out of direct sun.

Outdoors

In the shade, in plain sight

Inside your backpack and in the shade, the gel packs stay cold longer. The thermometer on the lid shows the temperature in °F without opening the case.

  • Check the lid display every so often.
  • Open it only when you're about to use your pen.

Home & hotel

A fridge just for your medication

The BioAura Cooler runs plugged in and holds the temperature you set, from 32 to 64 °F (0–18 °C), with room for up to 10 pens per the manufacturer.

  • No relying on the hotel minibar or the kitchen fridge.
  • It needs an outlet at your destination. On the way, use the Case with gel packs.

Ready to go in three steps

Freeze both gel packs the night before, put your pen next to them and close the case. Before you leave, check the lid: you see the temperature without opening it.
