How to Store Insulin At Home – Go To Tips

We know that the temperature inside a refrigerator can fluctuate. That can result in your insulin freezing regardless if it is not in the freezer. Other negative impacts that are a result of bad temperatures is discoloration, deterioration of the synthetic hormone which leaves you with incorrect blood glucose for your readings. To ensure that the temperature inside your refrigerator is stable at 39° F or 4° C it is recommended that you use a thermometer. By doing this, this ensures it does not drop down to that “freezing” point.

The “go-to” place to store your insulin would be inside the fridge on the top door’s shelf. This is where you would usually put your cheese, butter or dairy products. It wouldn’t hurt to have a temperature monitor inside.

Avoid leaving insulin in your parked car. A vehicle can have it’s interior affected by weather conditions which results in extremely cool or overly hot weather. Always be sure to inspect the appearance of your medication prior to its’ usage.

You should also be sure to inform our team should you be choosing to fill your medications with us. Be sure to always check the packaging of your medications regarding anything related to storage and type of insulin you are using.
