Unopened insulin vials left inadvertently at room temperature

[cz_dave]

I got novorapid and levemir from my pharmacy and inadvertently left the vials at room temperature for 6 hours. As soon as I realized, I put them in the fridge.

Will the insulin be ok or not?

Your insulin will be fine.

Considering opened insulin should be kept at room temperature, there is no problem leaving it out of the fridge for 6 hours.
It's not as if it is convenient to carry a fridge around with us when we go out for a day.

As long as they weren’t left under the sun it’s fine.

Room temperature is unlikely to denature insulin
