Proper storage of insulin is important because excessive heat or cold breaks down the hormone, rendering it ineffective. Keep the bottle of insulin you are using at room temperature. Don't store it in the freezer or in very hot places, such as by a sunny window or in the glove compartment of your car. If you will not use an entire bottle of insulin within 30 days, store it in the refrigerator. Insulin kept at room temperature for more than 30 days should be thrown out. Keep at least one bottle of extra insulin in the refrigerator at all times as a backup. If your normally clear insulin looks cloudy, clumped, or crystallized; was exposed to very hot or cold temperatures; or has passed the expiration date, throw the bottle away and open a new one.
