It is not likely they were frozen. When frozen they would probably have some precipitate in them showing that damage.
Freezing it may break the bonds of the peptide, also and inactivate the insulin molecule so it cannot work at the cell receptors.

What happens is the insulin may be inactivated. For someone needing 50 units at a dose, that would be critical. For someone like you taking 10 units or less, it would be less so. You would see a change in your blood glucose the next day, when you test and if you do NOT change at all or much, then the insulin is working... right?


Of course, you don't have to try it at all. If you have some left, of your last order, just use that.
