Answer to Question 2

D
Insulin may be stored in the refrigerator, but this is not necessary. Patients can store insulin at room temperature for up to 30 days without losing potency as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Insulin should be kept in a cool place and away from very warm temperatures. If insulin is stored in the refrigerator, be sure that the drug is in a bin or container away from food.
