How do I save insulin?
How do I save insulin? Now diagnosed with diabetes more and more people, so the preservation of insulin has become the most important, the following experts to ask you about the preservation of insulin skills, we learn together under it!
Many people who use insulin diabetes do not know exactly how to keep insulin.
We know that insulin is the body of a protein hormone, it plays a biological role in body temperature. But it is a protein, the case of high temperature will change the solidification, loss of biological activity. We currently use insulin mostly biosynthetic human insulin, a small number of pigs or bovine insulin, similar in structure, should be transparent. In the effect of insulin plus the protein, is cloudy.
For those who have not been used to open the insulin, no matter what kind, should be stored in between 2 ~ 8 ℃, that is, refrigerators in the refrigerator. At this temperature, it will maintain its biological effects and be sterile during the period of validity. Some people want to save it for a longer time, and thus put frozen room frozen, hoping like fish and other fish and poultry meat, the future will be used when the thaw. This is wrong. Because insulin after freezing, the original transparent liquid will produce crystals or particles, can not thaw, the original is cloudy will form a larger particles or lumps. These remaining particles after thawing will affect the absorption of insulin and the accuracy of the dose, so even if the thaw can not be reused. The same reason, in the plane can not be placed in the baggage of insulin checked. Because even in the summer, the height of the luggage compartment temperature is also minus tens of degrees Celsius, the insulin will freeze. So when the plane should be placed in the bag of insulin, insulin is liquid, but the Civil Aviation Authority to allow insulin to carry.
Distinguish the pen of the insulin pen, or with a syringe
For insulin that is already in use, it is necessary to distinguish between the pen of the insulin pen and the bottled insulin pumped with a syringe. If the latter, because the bottle has a rubber stopper closed, after taking out the insulin, you can put back to the refrigerator freezer. If it is loaded in the pen in the pen, you can not use it back into the freezer. The reason is not afraid of insulin deterioration, but because the pen has a needle, so that the bottle of insulin and the outside world. When the pen with the refill into the refrigerator, due to the temperature drop, the liquid shrink, so that the air into the bottle. When taken out of the refrigerator, the temperature of the bottle is raised by the tip of the bottle, thus affecting the accuracy of the dose.
As insulin in the body temperature play a role, so in the short term at room temperature it will not deteriorate. In the general air conditioning room temperature (about 25 ℃) can be stored for about 6 weeks. So is the use of insulin refills generally a three or four weeks, and thus is safe. Sometimes the insulin pen when you go out in your pocket, close to body temperature, save time for about 4 weeks.
In short, as long as not in the very high temperature (such as the beach on the ground), nor directly in the sun, the short term insulin is not bad. Traveling, placed in the insulation cup or insulation bags, the car has air conditioning, so that it is not affected by high temperature, the better.
