Insulin can lose effectiveness if it gets too hot or freezes.
Unopened insulin is usually stored in the refrigerator, while opened insulin may be kept at room temperature for a limited time. Always follow the storage directions on your specific product.
Pin Tip
Use an insulated travel case to protect insulin during trips and hot Ohio summers.
