How should I store my insulin bottles (vials)?

New (unused) bottles: 

• Keep new bottles in the fridge until you are ready to use them. 

• Throw out insulin bottles that are past their expiration dates, even if they were stored in the fridge.

Opened (used) bottles: 

• Keep used bottles at room temperature in the kitchen or bedroom. 

• Keep away from light and heat. 

• Check each insulin bottle’s guide to see how long each type of insulin lasts at room temperature. They may not be the same.
