COMO ARMAZENAR INSULINA CORRETAMENTE + dicas valiosas para transportar e viajar

How to store your insulin correctly? Do you need to keep insulin in a cooler? Can I leave it at room temperature? If you have diabetes and use insulin, you need to know this. First, we need to separate the insulins that are in use from those that are still sealed and not in use. SEALED INSULINS: Sealed insulins should be kept refrigerated between 2 and 8°C. Storage should avoid places like the door and proximity to the refrigerator walls and freezer. Insulin should never be exposed to temperatures below 2°C to avoid the risk of freezing and loss of its effect. The most suitable places are the middle to lower shelves and the vegetable drawer, always in its original packaging. INSULINS IN USE Insulins in use can be kept at room temperature (15 to 30 degrees). An important precaution is to avoid exposing insulin to sunlight. SPECIAL CARE WHEN TRANSPORTING INSULIN IN A COOLER OR THERMAL BOX If transporting insulin in a cooler or insulated box with ice or similar, care must be taken to ensure that the insulin does not come into direct contact with the contents, to prevent it from reaching temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius and freezing.
