Too much heat, cold, or sunlight can damage the insulin in your pens. Follow the instructions below to store your insulin pens.

• Keep your new, unused insulin pens in the refrigerator door. This keeps them from being pushed to the back of the refrigerator, where they can freeze.
• Keep the insulin pen you’re currently using at room temperature (below 86 °F, or 30 °C). Once you use an insulin pen the first time, never put it back in the refrigerator.
• Never freeze your insulin pens.
• When you’re going out in hot weather, don’t let your insulin pen get too hot. Carry it in an insulated bag, or something similar, to keep it cool.

1.If you’re going to be out for a few hours, put a cold bottle of water in the insulated bag with your insulin pen. This will keep it from getting too hot for several hours.

2.If you’re going to be out for a longer time, you can put an ice pack in the insulated bag with your insulin pen. Wrap the ice pack or insulin pen in a towel to keep them from touching. If the pen touches the ice pack directly, the insulin can freeze.

• Always put the pen cap back on the insulin pen after using it. This protects the insulin from sunlight.
