pryd Posted February 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Recently diagnosed Diabetic and I will be travelling with Byetta, an injectable medication (Not Insulin) that needs to be kept @ 36 to 46 degrees F. Will the refrigerators in the Liberty cabins maintain that temperature, or should I plan on bringing another cooling device with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted February 6, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They aren't really fridges.. they are mini bars, so the temp isn't really cold... With something that important, I'd take my own cooling device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted February 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2007 What we did was keep a small plastic bucket of ice that we kept filled to help the fridge keep cool. It certainly is not very cool on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachj Posted February 6, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I use Byetta and the fridges are cold enough to keep it safe. If not keep it in the ice buckets as someone suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted February 6, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They will also keep it in the infirmary for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryd Posted February 6, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for all the replies. I like the idea of keeping it in the Infirmary but it might be a little awkward to get the pen twice a day. Keeping the pen in ice would not be good because it might freeze the liquid destroying the protein in the pen, however the idea of keeping ice in the fridge sounds very practical. Thanks again for everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
