How To Help Keep Your Insulin (and Other Diabetes Meds) Cool

Описание: Watch this video or visit https://bit.ly/3ZCJPxj to learn how to keep your #insulin (and other #diabetes #meds) cool.

Key takeaways:

Temperature-sensitive #medication exposed to extreme heat or freezing can degrade – even if it looks normal – and lead to unpredictable results.

Store these medicines in the refrigerator until they're ready to be used. Insulin can be stored at room temperature for a month, and diabetes and weight loss drugs for about three weeks.

Protect insulin with thermal bags, portable cooling cases, or smart temperature monitors that send alerts to your phone if temperatures go outside the safe range.
