A monitoring system for monitoring the temperature of a sample of insulin stored in a container. Additionally, a monitoring and detecting system for monitoring a sample that is sensitive to ambient temperature, pressure and/or ultra-violet (UV) radiation or other conditions. The system includes sensor circuits that sense conditions of a sample. A comparator circuit receives input from the sensor circuit indicative of the sensed conditions of the sample. The comparator circuit generates a profile of the sample and indicator modules provide an indication, such as warn or fail for the sample.
