Just like Jam said you do not have to store your insulin in the refrigerator. If you are like me worried about traveling and insulin supplies, I would recommend a carrying case with a cold pak. The ADA (american diabetes association) has information about insulin storage on their site. Have a great vacation.

You can take a cooling pack.
Did you know that insulin does NOT have to be in a fridge? I keep mine just in my room at normal temp and it works just fine.
