I store the new cartridges in the fridge. Following the advice on the information sheet that comes with the boxes of cartridges, I keep the current pens at room temperature or in a frio pack. I use NovoRapid and Levemir.

why can't everyone get on........
all insulin should be stored in a fridge prior to a cartridge or vial being removed for starting to use.
it should also come out of the fridge when collected from pharmacy..............and if any high readings occur that are totally unexpected -- change vial or cartridge straight away..........
insulin once out of the fridge should be good for 4 weeks ( 30 days )
