WRONG - it won't last 30 days in NO La. heat. What an idiotic statement.

Actually, insulin can last up to 30 days at "room" temperature. At one of
the hospitals I work at we have not been refrigerating OPENED/USED insulin
bottles for over 3 years now. We put it in the patient's med drawer in a
med cart station, rather than leave it in the fridge where it may become a
"community bottle" (increasing the chances someone may re-enter it with a
used needle from a different patient).
