Pumps and Saunas and other strange places

Just tried out my new Omnipod in the sauna. After one hour exposure to 80 degree celsius temperature the insulin and pod are still working fine. Also the Freestyle Libre flash monitor carries on at the high temperatures, so I am happy. I can even read the Omnipod controller in bright snow on a back country ski trip, a complete failure for both Medtronic and Animas pumps.
