Question Carry-on question - insulin

HI!
I have a quick question that I was hoping that someone could answer for me.
My husband is diabetic and takes insulin. (just added insulin about a year ago as the pills he was on for most of his life are no longer effective)
This will be the first time that he has flown since starting insulin. We have a small soft-sided case (basically a small lunchbox) that he carries his insulin in along with an ice pack to keep it cold (since it has to stay refrigerated)
We are flying Delta for an upcoming trip and we wondered if they would consider his bag for his medication as his 1 carry-on? He also has a laptop bag that he carries his computer in, so we weren't sure how they would treat this. Or if it's medication (which he has to bring on board since he can't pack it) does that not count as a part of your carry-on total.

Any ideas?
