[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1235265, member: 317436"] Hey everyone! I started insulin on July 22 last month. 10 units of Toujeo every evening and so far it's worked out really well for me. I'm a little confused with the instructions that come with the insulin pen. I'm Dutch, living in the Netherlands, and my leaflet tells me to toss the pen after 4 weeks once used. I'm hitting the 4 weeks mark today, but when I browse the US Toujeo website, it says the pen lasts up to 42 days, so 6 weeks. I still have quite a few units left in the pen, around 125, and I hate wasting things. I don't know if the insulin is different per country. Should I play it safe and toss the pen after using it tonight, or can I extend using it to the 6 weeks the US Toujeo website claims? My doctor whom I follow the treatment with is on vacation for another 1.5 weeks or so, and I'm uncomfortable asking anyone else at the practice for now. This is the info from the Dutch leaflet (you can see "maximaal 4 weken" which means 4 weeks maximum :) ): [IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/0c380ac7483aaf985d28eca15f45d2bb.png[/IMG] And here's the info from the US website: [IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/00e1c2990b7270d6b03cf5ca802a268c.png[/IMG] That's the exact same pen I have so I'm all sorts of confused about this difference. If anyone has any enlightening information on this, I'd be grateful for your input! [/QUOTE]
