For those CGMS from MM

Does anyone know why we don't have to keep the censors in the fridge anymore? They called to tell me my next shipment is being sent via overnight and they told me I did not need to keep them in the fridge any longer, just between 30 and 80.

I don't know about everyone else, but I still keep 'em in the 'fridge, just to make sure they are fresh and last. They sure aren't cheap!

They say "Keep Refrigerated" mainly for shipping tempature fluxuations and they used to be more sensative to heat changes. The new sensors are still shipped as "Keep Refrigerated" for the shipping people, but they are shelf stable as long as you don't get above 80.

Well, that's what the MM nurse told me.

Okay I wondered why they came in a foam box with Ice packs all around them then.
