Why?
Insulin keeps for about 6 weeks once out of the fridge, depending on
brand.

Under what stated temperature conditions? And with an opened vial? I
wonder if you would be so dismissive if you were the one using the
insulin.

One make says:

"The product may be stored for a maximum of 4 weeks not above 25°C and
away from direct heat or direct light."

It can be difficult keeping things below 25 in the summer when
travelling - unless you have something like a coolpack.
