I’ve been trying to find out searching threads if anyone has had trouble with suspected frozen insulin.
I know they recommend insulin be stored in Fridge 36 to 46 Deg, but if this temp had wandered too close to freezing and a pen or vial was frozen, is there any way to Physically look at it and tell if it was previously frozen eg clumps, cloudiness, crystal.
Does anyone have any input on this subject. I think it might have happened to me, but Pens looked clear and ok, but results of potentency were poor.My BG was running unsually high.

Thanks Group

Hi Group
I have a question on pen needles. I use a Novolog Flex pen and I use Novofine disposible needles for this pen. My Lantus Solostar pen is made by sanofi aventus and they told me on the phone to use ONLY the BD pen needles. They said NOT to use novofine needles on it, yet printed on the BD needle box is a listing that these needles CAN be used on the Novolog pen.
Someone is is giving me the wrong info. I would like to use just one type brand of needle for both pens. Anyone else in this situation, please post your input

Thank, Larry
