I've heard that insulin needs to be kept in the fridge but this site here says: Insulin should be stored in a refrigerator but not in the freezer. If refrigeration is not possible, the bottle of insulin that you are currently using can be kept unrefrigerated as long as it is kept cool as possible (below 86�F [30�]) and away from heat and light. Do not use insulin if it has been frozen. Do not use a bottle of insulin after the expiration date on the label. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/hum7030.htm I can keep it in the fridge if necessary but would prefer not to due the people I live with.      | ||

Insulin does not have to be refridgerated. It will be fine in a cool dark place that doesn't get any hotter then normal room temperature. ------------------ | ||

Just keep it in a box of food or container that everyone will recognize as yours and hopefully they will keep their fucking hands off!!! get big or get out | ||

somewhat off the subject, but did you have any trouble purchasing insulin through the pharmacy? yesterday i called the pharmacy & they said it was OTC & it wouldnt be a problem to purchase. when i went to pick it up, they wanted to know if i was diabetic & that they would call my doctor. didnt want to say i was diabetic (since i dont have a diabetic card), so i wasnt sure if i should just say i was "Insulin resistant" & leave it at that. any ideas?? ------------------ | ||

just tell them it's for your mother and that you don't know that first thing about it. but they shouldn't be asking you questions. if they do, just take your business and $ down the road to another pharm. | ||
