My first pen of Insulin has clearly gone awry! See photo.....not cloudy as such, but there are fragnments/flakes in it - they float when agitated otherwise they settle at the bottom. I've set this pen aside, but curious as to what might cause it, it has only been in use a week or so.

Hi, Insulin should be clear with no particles, so I would bin it and use a new one.
If milk had particles/flakes in it, I would rather not use it !
ps you could take it to your local chemist and show it to the pharmacist.
Milk is really an emulsion of tiny fat particles in water, the tiny droplets are not visible to the naked eye.
Milk and cream are examples of fat-in-water (or oil-in-water) emulsions. The milk fat exists as small globules or droplets dispersed in the milk serum, Figure 2.15. Their diameters range from 0.1 to 20 µm (1 µm = 0.001 mm). The average size is 3 – 4 µm and there are some 1010 globules per ml.
