Hello

Just completed the DAFNE course in Cumbria, dropping in to say hello

I found DAFNE to be a really informative course and have learned useful information all week long

Currently I inject 150u Humulin I, every morning and night, and my carb ratio is 5u Novorapid to each 10g carbs.

Going to have a look around the site

Hi

Can someone advise please. I store my insulin in the fridge until I need a new flexpen then I keep the pen in my handbag until it has run out.Is this the correct thing to do as I have heard of people having the insulin on there person all day then putting it in the fridge when get home from work.

Many thanks
Shirley

Hello Shirley,

Yes, that is the correct thing to do. I believe that the instructions for my insulin explicitly state that you shouldn't refrigerate insulin after removing it from the fridge. Insulin will spoil after about 30 days, so replace it if it is not yet consumed within that time frame.

If you are in a very hot environment, then investigate something similar to a Frio bag which will keep the insulin below 30 degrees Celsius. http://www.friouk.com/
