Does Insulin have to be refrigerated?

[rvgfrth4g]

One of my friends told me it has to be refrigerated after its been opened. And there is no way i'm sticking my slin in my parents refrigerator. I haven't got my slin yet but i thought i would ask before i got it. I thought it was only HGH and HCG that had to be refrigerated.

yes it does

[needsize]

for sure, just find something to hide it in

No it does not need to be refrigerated. Of cource it should be kept as cool as possable but it does not need to be in the fridge. if you read the little insert that comes with humulin-r it clearly says that it may be kept at room temp. fridge would be the best place for it but it will not go bad at room temp.
