Simon, I carried a small pack with about 10 0.5ml insulin syringes and a
pack of plastic vials of 1% lignocaine in my pocket which warmed the
lignocaine and reduced the hassle factor - all I had to do was restock the
pack every so often.
It might need a health and safety study to make sure the insulin syringes
are safe to carry in one's pocket and I wouldn't recommend carrying glass
vials!
