Hello partner, I use a contaur Next meter, I carry it in all my outputs through the mountain, the temperatures are below 10, although I can already assure you that at 0 degrees they do not work either, so I have taken my thermal shirtsTo the seamstress and have sewn everyone in the front a golden style patch with three bags with another elastic fabric that I looked for.There I carry my survival material 😀pegado to the body safe from blows and warm.I hope the invention helps you.I use insulin pump and put it there through a small hole that also installed the dressmaker there to be able to pass the supply cable 😂.
