Insulin left at room temp. for four days. Should I toss it?

[DTA]

I did a search and couldn't find anything. I was just wondering what happens to the insulin if it's left unrefridgerated. I left mine out and went away for a few days. It was left out at room temp for a total of four days. Should I just get a new bottle or am I ok. Oh, it was humulin R if that matters. Thanks.

i would not toss it, my rommmate is diabetic, and he carries his insulin around in a bad and doesn't keep it refridgerated, he just refridgerates his "stock pile" of insuiln.

Being diabetic myself, Ill tell u it makes no difference. Once I open up a new vile, it remains out of the fridge until Im done with it... Usually about 2-3 months later. If I check my blood sugar when I first open it and when I use the last drop, the effect will be almost exactly the same.
