Report #15882
[gotcha] Instructing users to keep all insulin refrigerated at all times
Specify that unopened insulin must be refrigerated \(2-8°C\), but in-use pens/vials should be kept at room temperature \(up to 25-30°C\) for up to 28 days.
Journey Context:
Agents often generalize 'insulin must be kept in the fridge.' Injecting cold insulin is painful and can alter absorption rates, causing glycemic spikes. Furthermore, repeated temperature fluctuations \(fridge to injection\) degrade insulin faster than stable room temperature storage for in-use cartridges.
