Our refrigerator was slowly ceasing to refrigerate its contents recently, which caused us the same stress it would, or has already, cause most folks - is the food inside going to go bad?
Parents of T1Ds have an additional concern, "what about the insulin?"
Fortunately, while most modern insulins are indeed stored cold, a slight moderation shouldn't cause a drastic change in its effectiveness - but it could. Just like anything "could". There's a saying among us parents, "your mileage may vary", that applies to virtually any situation. And virtually any child on any particular day.
In this case it was just an added blip to the fridge scenario - will this affect the insulin? And we won't know, probably, until we go to use it and even then we won't know for sure if it's the insulin, or a nervous child, or the barometric pressure, or because it's Thursday. With a million "ors", all we can do is keep paddling
