I don't read instructions lol. So why am i taking insulin to work in a cool pack then, and why do they sell them.That's contrary to what I've been told by all HCPs I've asked & to the storage instructions with my flex-pens, which say, quite clearly, on the back of the novorapid box: During use: Use within 4 weeks. Do not refrigerate. Store below 30deg C. Levemir box says the same, but use within 6 weeks. Do not refrigerate during use.
So where does the advice to keep it in the fridge at all times come from? Is it for different insulins? Are we all being told different things?
Also, if insulin must be kept refrigerated at all times, how does that work for pumps, where people have a reservoir of insulin with them for 3 days? I'm pretty sure the instructions for the Omnipod say that the pod should only be filled with room temperature insulin, not insulin straight out of the fridge.
I'm confused, please clarify?
So it's unopened you have to keep refrigerated, as it says on the box. I always thought it had to be kept chilled.
