A member asked:
Is it best to keep open insulin pens at room temp or inside the refrigerator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In the refrigerator: For long term storage, but once they are opened and in use, they can be at room temperature for the month. Keep them out of direct sunlight and high heat, however.
