[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1235273, member: 211504"] The official answer is that you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. HOWEVER, the practical answer is that the vast majority (myself included) of us would probably use it for at least 6 weeks (if not longer). Remember, these are manufacturer recommendations which means that they're designed to consider and account for very unusual situations. Realistically, the insulin probably will last much longer than the 4-6 week time recommended timeframe, but I wouldn't chance it. Long story short, I can appreciate you not wanting to be wasteful, but if you're worried about it it's best to change out pens. If it were me, I'd probably use it a little longer, but that doesn't mean I'm right. [/QUOTE]
