Clauna,

I have used Lantus for two months without it deteriorating. But I have a problem with Lantus raising my blood pressure and pulse. <sigh>

With Novolog I put the pens in the fridge when not using them. I have never had a problem doing this. I always do the air shot before using it.

But they tell you putting the Apidra Opticlick pen in the fridge will harm it.

I don't know if the Apidra cartridge will last longer than a month.

What worries me the most is that in the summer I have had Novolog pens go bad when I have carried them in my purse. Either it was too hot, or they got jogged around too much when I did a lot of walking. Whatever the explanation, with the Opticlick pen I'd be out of luck if that happened, and my doctor isn't available four days of the week. She doesn't have any more pens now either.

So I may have to wait until the Apidra disposable pen hits the market to make the switch permanent.
