Lantus Storage

[Lizzysdad]

Ok, I messed up after my PM dose. I forgot to put the Lantus back in the refrigerator and it sat out for 4.5 hours. Will it still be okay to use? (I did put it back in the fridge after I discovered my mistake.)

Thanks!

As long as it was just at room temperature, it should be ok for a few weeks anyway. I don't use this insulin, but seem to recall that it is good for bout a month at room temp which is how most humans use it. You might check the stickies in the Lantus forums for specific details.

It should be fine. It happens to all of us, no big deal.

Thanks for the replies! I appreciate the advice.

The insulin should be fine.

Your kitty's doing really well, by the way. Keep testing whenever you can. One day, she might just get off insulin. ;-)
