It may not be an ideal answer, but there are very small,
portable fridges which run of either a car's cigarette
lighter, or a mains adaptor which sell in all sorts of
places like B&Q, Homebase, etc..
Don't laugh, but they sure keep my beer nice and cool.
Seriously though, have you considered contacting The British
Diabetic Association? http://www.diabetes.org.uk/

Subject: Truly portable refrigeration
Apologies to anyone who has already seen (and hopefully
replied to) this
elsewhere...
Does anyone have any ideas (brilliant or otherwise) on how
to enable an
isulin dependant diabetic student to participate fully on a
course with an
enormous quantity of energetic field work?
Apparently we're talking about self-reliant canoing trips,
working in
outdoor centres and to quote the website "practical
participation in
adventure activities including: sailing, windsurfing, hill
walking,
rock-climbing, kayaking and canoeing."
And of course, maintaining standard refrigeration under
those conditions is
not something that springs readily to mind.
I know it's Friday, but does anyone have anything workable
to throw into the
idea hat?
