Yes, I keep them both in the same bag because I used to have to use them both at work when I was on split basal. My basal alarm went off and I picked up the pen, primed it, dialled the 9 units, injected it but it felt weird - and then to my horror I saw it was the blue JuniorStar pen instead of the red Novopen. Luckily, they feel very different when injecting - the JuniorStar sort of clicks while the Novopen is a smooth action with one click at the end - that's what made me notice - it just felt wrong because I've never injected that large a dose with the JuniorStar before.
Smidge
Now your back on one basal dose keep the pens separate, its so easy to mix the two up when they are in the same bag.
And btw your not an idiot, I expect most of us have done this at some point, I once injected my basal dose twice and had to go work an hour later on nights, that was sheer panic I can tell you.
