Insulin still good?

[Nssca]

I left it(insulin R) out of the fridge in the cabinets in the kitchen for a week. forgot about it. Is it still good or should I buy another bottle? Expiration date on bottle is 11/2007

It should still be good, I have seen some left out for a few days and had no problems. Now dont quote me on this but I heard if you squirt a little on your hand and smell it and it is still a pretty potent smell it should be good. Like I said I dont know if it works or not. Another thing you can do is take a few ius and wait to see the first signs of hypo, obviously have 50-75g of quick carbs (sugar soda or juice) on hand to pound at the first sign. Be very carful if you do thid though!

as long as it wasnt exposed to extreme temps, you should be ok. But then again slin is cheap and readily available.
