1. Modern Insulin can lose its effectiveness without visible signs

It won’t smell. Won’t change color. Won’t look any different.

But with exposure to heat? It starts breaking down - and once it loses effectiveness, it can affect your health and won’t be working the way it should.

2. Suddenly, your blood sugar becomes unpredictable

You experience fatigue, headaches and fogginess more often. You use your regular doses but your blood sugar levels are not as expected.

You think it's your diet. Your timing. Your stress. But if your insulin has degraded, nothing else you do will help.

3. Pharmacies must dispose of temperature-compromised insulin

In pharmacies, insulin is stored in controlled temperatures, logging fridge temps by the hour.

The average insulin user has no way to know when it has been compromised.

They toss insulin if it’s out of a safe temp range. But you? You're left guessing.

4. You’re probably exposing your insulin to heat more than you think

In the car. In your bag. In your purse or even in your pocket.

Even a warm room or a sunny walk can push it past the safe zone (36°F–86°F).

Even a warm room or a sunny walk can push it past the safe zone (2°C–30°C).

And once it’s compromised - there’s no going back.

5. You might be using insulin for years believing it’s safe

Because insulin degradation can go undetected, many people think symptoms they experience like blood sugar fluctuations are the norm or caused by other factors, but degraded insulin could be a big factor.

The truth is, degraded insulin is nearly impossible to detect — and using it can throw you off from your whole routine.

 

That’s why more people are turning to thermal solutions made specifically for insulin - like VIVI Cap.
