Health Tips to Store Insulin Properly

HealthNFitness Tips: Insulin is a lifesaver for many people with diabetes, but it must be stored correctly when not in use.

The proper guidelines for the storage of insulin:
  • Insulin typically is stored in the refrigerator, but it may be more painful when injected this way. Insulin stored at room temperature will last about a month.
  • Don't keep your insulin in extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures.
  • Never keep insulin in the car, in direct sunlight or in the freezer.
  • Check the bottle's expiration date, and discard any insulin that's expired.
  • Inspect the bottle before inserting the syringe to make sure the insulin looks as it should.
  • Don't use insulin that has formed any crystals or clumps.
