  Do extremely high temperatures outside impact whether or not you refrigerate your insulin after it has been opened?
  I've kept ALL my insulin vials in the fridge for the past 56 years. I carry a vial when away from home, either on ice pack in high temps or in an insulated pouch if I'm going to be inside out of the hot temps.

  The recommendation is to keep insulin refrigerated until it is opened, then to use it within 1 month at room temperature. I label the open vial and pens for expiration in 28-30 days. My vials last 25 days; I carry insulin pens as backup to my pump, and am required to waste most of each syringe since my tandem pump seldom malfunctions. I always regret wasting the insulin.

  Have used a product called Frio (?) a pouch containing crystals that swell when wetted, then by dehydrating slowly uses evaporative cooling. Always in warm months, rarely during cool months. TSA has never pulled me up for the "gel," in X-ray. It always keeps the insulin cool. I heard (maybe mistakenly) that once taken out of refrigeration, insulin pens should not be refrigerated again.

  Living in Texas and being an active individual, I must pack a small cooler with ice packs and cushioning to keep my pens from getting too cold.

  I keep the opened vial with me. I don’t leave it in hot car, but hiking, biking it comes along. Rarely I’ll use a cool pack.

  Some years ago during a trip I had to leave all my insulin supplies, short & long acting, in the trunk of a car for 15 hours of over 100 degree heat. Despite our fears the insulins were, or appeared to be, totally unaffected! Being in Panama City we’re doubted our ability to replace my insulin based on my Cape Toen prescription that I didn’t have with me

  I don’t refrigerate after opening a new bottle, but if extremely hot make sure it is in a cool place

  I answered "other". I keep my insulin in the refrigerator until I open a vial. Then it kept in container with other supplies. When I travel in the car for a long trip I pack opened and and unopened vials with a cold pack in a thermal lunch bag.

  I keep opened bottles at room temp. In 35 years as a type 1, I've never noticed insulin being affected by heat. Can anyone point me to an authoritative article on degradation of insulin due to heat? I'd love to read one. Thanks.

  I usually keep my Humalog insulin in the fridge. When I get down to the last bits (~20u) that are not worth drawing up for my pump, I'll carry that vial in my kit with syringes at room temp in case of emergencies. I rarely need, so have had vials in my bag unrefrigerated for months and have been happy to find they still worked.

  I tried the Dexcom over patch and it caused the sensor adhesive to lift, never again. It sticks better to the Dexcom adhesive patch than it does to your skin and it is not flexible or breathable enough.

  Hypafix tape is my go to, and I only use it if I'm doing an activity that is wet or abusive to the CGM.

  I've only used Dexcom's overlay patches a couple of times. I more frequently use the paper medical tape. In both cases there is a slightly sticky residue, occasional peeling/lifting of the edges and sometimes a red reaction from removing the tape/overlay.

  I have used overlay patches with my CGM but have not experienced any of these issues to a reportable extent.

  The clear patches DEXCOM provide are easy to use and effective. The cloth patches supplied by Advanced Diabetes Supply are clumsy, hard to apply yet once in place are effective, Guess which one I prefer.

  Rarely, but those things happen for 10 day sensors.
