glucose sensors in the fridge?

hi -
i start my pumping on monday and i only received my sensors today (i've had the pump sitting in my room since april and when i spoke to my nurse yesterday we realized that medtronic forgot to send me the sensors...)
anyways, question is, it came in a styrofoam fridge thing and the girl mentioned how these do NOT need to be fridged anymore, is that right? or should i still keep them in the fridge?

thanks!

Even though the new sensors don't "have" to be kept in the fridge, I still keep mine there just to be on the safe side.
