Fridge error

Hi, I just got back from a weeks holiday to find that the fridge had accidently been unplugged when we left (or rather not plugged back in, we only have two sockets in our kitchen).

Do I treat all the insulin in there as though I'd taken it out and therefore has 3 weeks of use left? Or is it fine if it gets chilled again quick?

Thanks
 
HI,
I really don't know but it's a bit of a worry isn't it? Did anyone open the fridge while you were away? Is there an ice compartment at the top? It may be that the inside was cold enough for the insulin to be OK for its full length if no door opening. I'd want to check with my GP or pharmacist just in case.
