Question Shaking Insulin Decrease Effectiveness???

While at a conference, I had my insulin in my pocket because I didn't want it to get warm in the car. We had to check out of the hotel by 11, but had to stay at the conference until 9pm that night. Anyway, back to my insulin. Since it was in my pocket, it was getting a lot of shaking I'm afraid. With moving around and going up and down stairs, I think my Humalog received a good amount of shaking.

My question is: Can shaking insulin decrease it's effectiveness. I ask because it seems like ever since then, I have had a great deal of unexplained highs. I don't want to throw it away because it is a relatively new bottle. Does anyone know anything about this? Or have I just been a little insulin resistant for the past few days?
