HANK YOU!!!!
Similar story, got my supplies delivered on Tuesday heat index over 104 here. Truck arrived at 1 o'clock, the box was hot as hell, I unpacked and ALL the boxes inside were like hot little bricks. Called my provider and politely, apologetically explained that temps exceeding 90 degrees could result in spoilage , thus misreadings for their many clients. She huffed at me and said "Well I guess our Diabetic patients won't be able to get their supplies during the summer"
Wrote her supervisor who was super cool, apologized, confirmed with manufacturer (read the package people!) that indeed these temps could cause malfunction, she offered to replace product. I wanted to know how she would do to ensure safe delivery for everyone during the extreme conditions.....anyone heard of air conditioned vehicles, cold packs , ...we have the technology. She said they could not do that but would make delivery trucks ensure that their packages would go out first of the day..........seemed a decent compromise.
My son has Autism and Type 1 , and hypo unawareness. Had a 40 BG last week and was completely lucid and appeared normal.........testing is all we have........I hear what your saying and it's as clear as the print on the package!!!!
