The case seems good to store the pen in as the extra thermal mass in the case will help to keep the pen from freezing. I've been on it now two days and it keeps getting better and better. My only fear is that I'll start slipping in my diet because for the first time in years, I can apparently get away w/it. Fred Yeah.. did that for the first time today.. it seemed to be okay.

Hi from Iowa City. I'm new to Byetta, too. I work second shift and have to carry my pen with me to work -- the travel pack should be fine for 45 minute commutes as long as you can refrigerate it while you're at work, otherwise you'll have to find something longer term. I've had a lot of success using a small, briefcase size thermos with 3-4 cubes of ice. I wrap the pen in a small piece of bubble wrap, place it in a zipper-type plastic bag, and put it in the thermos reservoir side up (to prevent it from touching the ice to avoid freezing). This keeps it cold enough for my walk to and from work and all through my shift -- about 9-10 hours total. (I kept a thermometer in there the first few times to be sure.) The ice is barely beginning to melt by them, so I'm sure it would be good for considerably longer and you could always replace the ice if necessary. <!--more--> The zipper on the travel pack they sent me broke the first time I zipped it up.
