What happens when you inject insulin that's been at room temperature for more than 6 hours out of the ref?

Injecting insulin that has been at room temperature for more than 6 hours may reduce its effectiveness, as insulin can degrade when exposed to heat and light. While it may still work for some time, its potency could be compromised, potentially leading to inadequate blood sugar control. It's generally recommended to store insulin in the refrigerator and only keep it at room temperature for a limited time, typically up to 28 days, depending on the type of insulin. Always consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on insulin storage and usage.
