Depends on how old it is, if its only a few months I wouldnt worry, if its over 6 months I would call the pharmacy and ask a pharmacist

I'm not sure what the correct answer is. In the meantime, maybe you should just check your sugar a couple of extra times. Remember that if the insulin you injected is long-acting, it might be a while before the effect shows up, so you shouldn't necessarily take more extra insulin. You don't want to chase your blood sugars up and down all day.
I'd rather see you sugars a little bit higher today than have it go too low. As long as it doesn't get WAY too high, of course.
Call your doctor or the pharmacist.

I agree that you should check your blood sugar levels but i have a saying: "if in doubt then throw it out." Take any insulin you think is spoiled to a pharmacy for new insulin.
