| Why 28 days? I notice the small print on Lantus/Humalog prescriptions or product literature tell me to discard after 28 days.
Whatcha s'posed to do for the other 3 days of the month?
Does anyone discard their vials of Lantus/Humalog after 28 days?
Is there a reason that this use caution is given? Is there a life degradation that requires the manufacturer to put this on their product literature?
From previous threads here, I see that there a few of us who use our disposable syringes more than once. Most I use is twice. Anyone here re-use syringes more than twice? - I draw enough for two injections and use the next injection within 24 hours - that is how I re-use syringes. Any other re-use stories? I also see many do not use alchohol swabs to clear skin prior to injection. I try to swab each time I inject, but while away from home with self-fulled second hand syringe, I do not swab. This MDI thing is about 3 years old to me, and diabetesforums is about 8 months old to me, so there's still lots to hear/learn. |
