Wyoming Climate & Diabetes Supply Impact

🌤️ Seasonal Risk: Cold high-altitude winters, warm dry summers, extreme wind

Wyoming presents both heat and cold challenges depending on season and region. Summer heat threatens insulin with temperatures potentially exceeding safe storage limits, while winter cold risks freezing insulin and reducing CGM sensor performance. Year-round supply management awareness is essential.

Insulin Temperature Safety Guide

Below 32°F (0°C)

Insulin FREEZES — permanently destroyed. Do not use frozen insulin.

36-46°F (2-8°C)

Ideal refrigerator storage for unopened insulin. Safe for months.

59-77°F (15-25°C)

Room temperature — opened insulin safe for 28-30 days (most brands).

Above 86°F (30°C)

Insulin begins degrading — effectiveness reduced within hours.

Above 104°F (40°C)

Rapid degradation. Insulin DESTROYED. Never use.

Wyoming Diabetes Insurance Coverage

❌

Medicaid Expansion: NO — Not Expanded

Wyoming has NOT expanded Medicaid. Many low-income adults who would qualify in expanded states do not have coverage for CGM sensors or insulin pumps. FSA/HSA accounts and direct purchase from MDS Diabetes are important alternatives.
