This is why it needs to be refrigerated — to keep it from spoiling. Think of insulin as a form of meal. More clearly, what exactly happens within insulin kept outside is that bacteria starts growing. This bacterial growth will break down the protein.
When dealt with in this way, the potency of the insulin will be retained. Insulin kept out of the refrigerator will not poison you or even make you sick. It just means that your insulin will not work as well or deliver its full potential dose. In simple terms, if your blood sugar is high, and you use the insulin that has been kept out, your blood sugar may not be lowered.
You may still find the blood sugar higher than you expect even after taking the injection at the right amount — at the right time. Insulin has a lifespan, and it will expire after its lifespan regardless of refrigerating. The next common question that comes with refrigerating is the temperature. Can you stop taking Victoza abruptly? You can taper yourself off from the full dose one click at a time over a thirty-day period.
That'll give your body time to adapt slowly to the change, and, if you 'll pardon the pun, you 'll give your system a chance to take a bite out of the appetite increase that comes from stopping Victoza.
