My son plays ice hockey and skates a lot. Any suggestions on how to keep meter and pump warm enough so they work when he needs them. We have tried a cooler with a heat pack in it which works some what.

Most BG meters work down to 40-50 degrees, so just keeping the meter and strips in a thermos might be enough.The pump should work fine in cold temperatures. If you have to be disconnected for a prolonged time and the temperature is well below freezing, again, putting it in a thermos should keep the insulin from freezing.
