After insulin has been out of the fridge for 28 days your supposed to throw it away, right? I imagine that the majority of us don't often reach this point but I will soon have to throw out a fast acting insulin pen so it got me thinking (always dangerous).................
What happens to insulin after this ? Does it simply start to lose its efficacy? Is the drop off linear or exponential?
Is it safe to assume that 28 days is the longest it would last in a warm climate (even in a FRIO bag) and that one might get extra time out of it in chilly old blighty?
Anyone?
