Oh gosh, 600 units! I would've been getting pretty livid by pod #3. In cases like that, do you think Insulet would replace not only the pod, but maybe a vial of insulin too?

I have taken insulin from a pod that has occluded or run into some other problem in the first day. After that, I think the insulin begins to break down from body heat, and I don't try to re-use any beyond about 24 hours.

Rachel,

Just like others have posted, The recommended in-use dating once an insulin vial has been punctured is 28 days. Unless you use more than one vial per month, it is not really worth saving insulin bc you have to replace the vial at the end of the month anyways. We have not drawn back insuling from a POD ever, but if needed, I will probably do it ONLY if the POD has not been used at all.
