Ok, So I ordered my Byetta pen yesterday morning and picked it up at 5:00pm that evening. And then I forgot about it and left it on the table until this morning - about 14 hours later.

The instructions make it clear that it should be kept in the fridge until it has been prepared. Should I throw it away and get another pen or would it still be OK to use?

As long as you're going to start using the pen it'll be fine-you only have to keep the pens your not using in the fridge.
 
Ok, I wasn't planning to use it until Wednesday when my current pen reaches its 60 doses. But I'd be fine with using the new one from this evening

Thanks
