[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2050592, member: 53162"] Simple answer is no, it renders the insulin ineffective so it's best to replace. Why has it frozen if you have it stored in the fridge, do you need a new fridge, check your storage carefully, in regards to storage: [SIZE=5][B]Storing insulin[/B][/SIZE] Keep any insulin you're not using in the fridge whatever the time of year. Don’t put it in the freezer compartment as it may damage the insulin. If you leave it out of the fridge for 28 days or more you’ll need to throw it away as the insulin will have broken down. Some insulins may need to be stored slightly differently so make sure you read the information leaflet that comes with yours. Insulin needs to be kept at temperatures lower than 25°C (77°F). The ideal storage temperature is 2 to 6°C (36 to 43°F). Room temperatures can be below 25°C, but they can be higher if the heating is on or it’s summer, so keep your insulin in the fridge. [/QUOTE]
