How should I store my insulin pens?

New (unused) pens: 

• Keep new pens in the fridge until you are ready to use them. 

• Throw away insulin pens that are past their expiration dates, even if they were stored in the fridge.

Used pens:

• Keep used pens at room temperature in your kitchen or bedroom. 

• Keep away from light and heat. 

• Check each insulin pen’s guide to see how long each type of insulin lasts at room temperature. They may not be the same. 

• Never store your pen with the needle on.
