Could anyone advise me on the best way to store test strips out and about in hot Spain.  Am anxious that they will get too hot and become no use to my son.

Hi @joshua04, can't really help you with that as I've never been to Spain myself or any other hot country for that matter. I don't stand hot temperatures. But I could guess that you shouldn't put the strips in the direct sunlight. Store them inside in a cool dry place?

Hope you'll get some tips from people who know more. Sorry and have a nice holiday in Spain.

Thank you very much for your reply.  Been told to carry the needed test strips in their container out and about through the day in a cool bag without an ice pack.  Hoping this keeps them from heating up too much.
