Question
how long can insulin stay out of a fridge without any affect on the product and at what tempeture

Answer

Insulin does not work well when it is kept for too long or is exposed to extreme temperatures. If you buy several bottles of insulin at once, keep the unopened ones in your refrigerator. (Do not put them in the freezer. Insulin clumps at temperatures below 36F.) Before you open a new bottle, check the date printed on it. If it is more than a month past that date, don't use the insulin -- it is too old.

If you use up a whole insulin bottle in a month or less, keep the bottle you are currently using at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to month without refrigeration, as long as its temperature stays under 86F. If you would rather keep all insulin in the refrigerator, make sure to warm up the insulin before injecting it. Cold insulin can make the shot uncomfortable.

Question
I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 and now my toes have been numb w/shooting pain for about 1 yr. Recently, I walked into our dog's crate, but it didn't hurt. Within days, 2 toes were black & blue and each one swollen as large as my big toe. Another day or so later my entire foot and ankle were very very swollen. Today, 2 mos. later, toes are still discolored and some swelling still exists. On my other foot, I kicked something just 4 days ago and now it seems my big toenail is falling off. There's puss underneath and the nail is discolored. Can I just soak my feet in Epsom Salt or something?

Answer

Dear Bill:

Thank you for your inquiry.  We would recommend seeing a podiatrist as soon as possible.  You can find a podiatrist in your area by visiting www.epodiatry.com/clinics.htm.
