Insulin is indeed a protein, suspended in an aqueous solution. Once it freezes, it is rendered ineffective – because once it thaws, the insulin molecules clump in a different way, and dont work properly. But it does actually have to freeze and thaw before that happens. (And I believe the freezing point to be just below that of water.)
