One of my (very old) Novopen-4 finally broke after 10+ years of constant use. I talked to the doctor who ordered me a replacement couple of Novipen-6. They also ordered another two for me "for spares". I've just read the packaging and realised that they only have a limited shelf life (5/6 years) because of the non-replaceable battery. I don't think the doctors appreciated the limitation.
Now I'm wondering what's the point of keeping "spares" - by the time my main ones have died - the spares are pretty much on their way out too.
I've talked to the doctors and pharmacy about this but they're duty bound to destroy them if I hand them back.
Does anyone here have a good suggestion for their better use as they're quite expensive and I don't like anything going to waste.
Thanks
