A study by the University of Geneva and Médecins sans frontières has just demonstrated that a vial of dʹinsulin, once opened, can be stored up to 37°C for four weeks, without losing its efficacy. These results represent a major breakthrough, paving the way for more affordable management for diabetics in so-called hot regions of the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa.
