[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1185971, member: 32394"] I don't think it does say that in the leaflet in with your insulin because they are designed to be a quick reference guide for people to easily refer to so they know what the manufacturers instruction are on how to use the product. I know my novorapid leaflet says: a pen that is in use "[I]is not to be kept in the refrigerator[/I]" that was good enough for me, I didn't think to question it much further. Not least because injecting cold insulin is uncomfortable so I'm happy to avoid that. I think what has been said in this thread (not by me, so I'm not entirely sure) is not so much that cold insulin is less potent or has a reduced life span, but more that cold insulin had a delayed action when compared to room temperature insulin. I don't know where that comes from in terms of medical literature, but I can see the logic to it - I mean insulin is going to want to be body temperature before it starts doing anything useful to your blood sugar right? Makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
