Insulin Storage Guidelines

Vials of insulin, not in use, should be kept in the butter compartment of the refrigerator. A refrigerated insulin bottle that is opened should not be used longer than three months. If a refrigerator is not available, an earthen pot filled with water can be used instead.
Extreme temperatures (<36°F or>86°F; <2°C or>30°C) and excess agitation should be avoided to prevent loss of potency, clumping, frosting or precipitation particularly with human and porcine insulins. Insulin that has been frozen to ice should be discarded.
An insulin vial in use may be kept at room temperature (permissible limits of temperature already stated). Although the expiry date is stamped
on each vial of insulin, a slight loss in potency may occur after the vial has been in use for more than 30 days, especially if it was stored at room temperature. If stored at room temperature, the insulin vial should not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat, for instance, near a geyser, or in the bathroom. It should be kept in a cool dark place. The expiry date on the insulin vials applies to those that have not been opened and have been stored in a refrigerator as recommended.
During travel, especially in summer, an insulin vial should be kept in an ice box or a thermos flask containing ice.
A person with diabetes should always have a spare vial of each type of insulin used.
A person administering insulin should inspect the vial before each use for change in appearance, that is, clumping, frosting, precipitation, clarity or colour that may signify a loss in potency.
A diabetic should always try to relate any unexplained increase in blood glucose to possible reduction in insulin potency. If uncertain about the potency of a vial of insulin, the vial in question should be replaced by a new vial of the same type.
