    I just bought 5 pens, previously used a vial, and I have questions :)

    I want to take them out of the box and put them in a mason jar so I can make sure they stay upright and don’t get knocked around the middle of the fridge. Is this a good idea? What do you all do with your in-use and unused pens?

    I’m just about finished his vial but I’m thinking of calling it a day for the vial and starting the pens now… we’re on 6 months with this vial (there’s not too much left - maybe a week, maybe two maybe more - dont know how to gauge it yet) … though it’s clearly still working as he’s getting lower numbers when he’s not a bouncy boy. I do want to start him on the pens before the next increase (if we have to increase) incase there’s a bit of extra potency in the new pen.

    Anything different I should know about the pens vs vial? I know the pens don’t need any air injected.. I think..

    Lastly, I'm going to attach a pic of the box to make absolute certain that we have the right stuff :) my first vial was with a prescription and I don’t think it hurts to double check

    TIA for whatever info you can provide :)

    That is the correct box. You don't want to roll the pens or inject anything back into them. I keep mine in the box in the back of my refrigerator.

    Thank you! Didn’t roll my vial so I figured the pens didn’t need it either but good to know.

    Do you make sure they are upright? Or does that matter?

    It doesn't matter, but I lay mine flat in the box.

    Still bouncing, I see. If you are up a while, get another test before bed. He can be one number at +3 and something else entirely after +6! :banghead:
