LAST MONTH’S SURVEY QUESTION:
In last month’s edition of Diabetes Bites, we asked how you deal with the “expiration date” on your insulin.
Here’s how you responded:
- 33% I make sure to never use insulin past its expiration date
- 49% I might use my insulin slightly past the expiration date, but only in an emergency
- 13% I routinely use insulin several months past the expiration date
- 5% I have no problem using insulin years past the expiration date
