Be honest, do you actually throw a pen or vial away at 28 days?

Started by Sam in General Diabetes Topics and Pre-Diabetes. Last reply by FHS 50 minutes ago. 8 Replies

Since I've gone to a very low carb diet I find that my novolog, an to a lesser extent lantus pens aren't used up within 28 days. I could probably easily make each last about 45 days. I just can't stand the thought of throwing them away at day 28…Continue
