Hi
It depends. Do as directed on the brochure.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/a6JKm
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

If your not using the insulin, then it should stay in the fridge. however if it states not to keep in the fridge while in use, then i would verify this with your pharmacist/Doctor and do as they instruct. Every insulin is different and may react differently to the fridge. Just as Lantis cannot be mixed with other insulins as NPH can. follow what your Dr/pharmacists tells you and you'll be fine.

I think part of the reason it is recommended to keep it out is because when it is cold, it can be more painful to inject. This, of course, varies from person to person, but that is what I have heard.
However, I don't use Novorapid, but you are probably safe keeping it in the fridge. Nothing can get into the vial, so it should be fine.

I have kept my insulin in the fridge for as long as I can remember. I live in the Philippines and it gets hot here. I have had no problems and my levels are under control. But as usual, do not rely on us dumb asses here, get a doctors opinion.

Refrigerator-temperature insulin is absorbed more slowly than room-temperature insulin.

Each type of insulin is different. . . . follow the directions, also call the pharmacy or doctor to verify this.
Rather to be safe!!
Good luck
