Solid white flake or rather chip in the NPH?
There were these big white flakes in my NPH cartridge the other day. I rolled it around but the ball didn't break them up so I left the cartridge overnight and now the flakes are gone but there are small dark specks. I suspect the specks would disappear with some rolling but I switched to another cartridge in the box. The second cartridge didn't have flakes but after rolling it still had a couple of specks which I suspect would go away but I was a bit creeped out so I went to a new box ( different batch ), no flakes but a couple of specks that seem to be breaking up so I went with that cartridge. I've never seen an actual flake or specks in the insulin before, maybe I never looked carefully before, the specks aren't visible when the cartridge is in the pen. I'm not sure if I should check to see if it's smoother tomorrow or just take them back to the pharmacy, I had already used the other three cartridges in the box. I looked online to see what insulin gone bad might look like but didn't find any pics.
The flake was more like a white chip. The instructions say not to use any with snowflakes or crystals but the flake didn't look like a snowflake or crystal.
Ever seen flakes in your insulin before? What did you do?

Always take the safe path. Return to the Pharmacy and talk directly to the Pharmacist. Glad you're okay. Tainted items could have been from the container, not necessarily the batch of insulin, or perhaps they were not all initially sealed properly. See what the Pharmacist has to say.
