Once opened, fast or slow insulin.I would like to know if they lose their effectiveness if used beyond 30 days?

Hola @Cristóbal Castro Martínez ,

entiendo que sí deben perder la efectividad, ya que en el prospecto indica que no deben utilizarse después de las 4 semanas de haberlas empezado.

No creo que valga la pena probarlo. Bastantes incertidumbres y factores externos tenemos para controlar la diabetes y solo falta que añadamos uno más. Por 4 euros que cuesta una caja de insulina, yo no me la juego, la tiro y empiezo otra pluma o vial.


LADA 2022. Inicio insulina Abril 2025.
