Maximum Insulin Potency

[The TEST of Truth]

Do you think that the following scenario still has maximum insulin potency, or is it no good? I have Humulin R, but do not (CANNOT) refrigerate it. I throw an ice pack on it but sometimes the pack gets warm. I just started doing slin for about a week and I'm worried that my slin has gone bad because I don't know if its working or not. I take cell-tech (75 grams sugar) after 5-8u of slin. I dont feel any signs of hypoglycemia so I am wondering whether my slin has lost its efectiveness or I am just tolerating it very well. Should I try taking slin without any sugar and wait to see if I feel any signs of hypoglycemia, and if so, then I know that its working and take some sugar? I just want to know that my slin is still good. The room temperature is around 70 degrees and its been open for about a week. Thanks.

Your slin is fine, sould try to keep it kooler if possible. You sould be taking 1 iu for every 10 lbs and most importantly a half hour before your workout ends to get the maximum effect.
