Most of these you most likely already know. I was surprised to learn that lack of sleep causes BG to rise. I'm sure there are some others that will surprise you too!

Lack of sleep - that must be why I can never get my A1C's down. :P
ETA: It is, in fact, possible to tell when insulin has gone bad, if it is a clear insulin. Clear insulins turn cloudy when they break down. I would post a picture as an example if I knew how to do that. I might look it up later.0
