[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2699503, member: 53162"] Hi Cathy, don't put your current insulin in the fridge, it's supposed to be kept out once started, using insulin from the fridge can be painful to inject too, however take care in regards to how you store in whilst out of the fridge, so out of direct sunlight/hot areas, just a bit of common sense in keeping it stored in cool areas, it won't have a detrimental effect as long as it's kept somewhere cool, you'll know if it's not working as you'll see from your readings. I use x3 glucotabs to treat my hypos, you can buy big bottle of them off Amazon in different flavours, you can get glucogel from your pharmacy, ask them to add it to your prescription. Just take care in the heat too as this can increase our insulin sensitivity as the heat opens up capillaries in the body, so more likely to go low. [/QUOTE]
