yep ... its going to be a hot one .... I keep mine in a frio wallet ... which is a wallet you activate by soaking it in water just reactivate it again during the fest  ... very easy to use available on lots of sites including amazon ... just google it   .... I also take spares of everything I can and keep these in the festival lockups ..... this year will be my first using a freestyle libre for checking blood sugar which will prove amazingly helpful ... If you haven't had them prescribed I believe they are available for about £50 and can be scanned with lots of smartphones.I see you are in Somerset and they are quite good at prescribing them as I am too  . ... any further help just quote me on here ...
