About a month or so ago, I came across a product from an Instagram post that I had never seen before. The product that I saw was called MedAngel.
So, I did what I normally do, reach out and ask if I could demo the product in exchange for writing an honest review of the product. As always, you can check out my full disclosure here.
MedAngel ONE is a wireless thermometer and app for iPhone & Android that constantly monitors the temperature of your medication.
I received the MedAngel in the mail just before I was heading to Florida for a week, so it was perfect timing. I wanted to make sure that my insulin was kept at a safe level while I was out in the hot sun of south Florida.
I set the MedAngel up by following the instructions that were provided. You can check out the video below of me setting it up.
After it was set up, I put the MedAngel in the insulated part of my new Myabetic bag and put my insulin pens in there.
Within minutes, I had an alert that my insulin was too hot.
Hmm..
I just thought maybe it needed to be get acclimated.
But then I kept getting the same alert over and over and over.
At this point, I honestly just closed the app out and forgot about it.
Let’s give this another shot
The next day I was getting ready to go to the airport and I tried the app again and the same thing was happening. It kept saying the insulin was too hot and there was no way because I knew that it was sitting at room temperature in the insulated part of my bag.
I closed out the app again and just forgot about it.
When I landed in Florida and got situated, I just couldn’t figure this thing out.
Finally, I sent in an email to get help and the response made me feel like an idiot.
DUH!
There are TWO settings, in the refrigerated and opened!!!
So, the whole time my setting was on the refrigerated setting and that’s why it kept saying that it was hot every single time.
At this point, I felt a little dumb, but I was finally ready to use it.
I used the MedAngel device for the week that I was in Florida and I did receive a few hot settings, but I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. The insulin pen stays in the insulated part of the Myabetic bag, so it’s supposed to help keep it from high and low temperatures.
I am not too scared of my insulin getting too cold, even with the winter months approaching. I tend to put my insulin pen in my pocket if I have to which helps keep the insulin pen at a temperature that it should be at.
I think that this product is great for those that live in very hot and very cold places.
I would highly recommend it.
