Humalog 50/50 pen?


Issue
Can anyone tell me why you are suppose to refrigerate the Humalog 50/50 pen before use, but after the first use you are suppose to store it at room temperature? This doesn't make any sense to me. I've always had to keep all of my other insulin's refrigerated at all times.

Best Tip
The Humalog 50/50 pen is good for up to 30 days unrefrigerated. You should keep it refrigerated until you are ready to use the new pen to keep from going over that 30 day mark prior to your first use. Even multi-use vials of insulin can be kept unrefrigerated if you anticipate using the entire contents within 30 days. I hope this helps.

Others
Some of them don't have to be refrigerated.
They don't know HOW long you (or the pharmacy) might store it before you use it, but once you start using it, it will be gone in a couple of weeks.
It keeps it fresh until it is ready to be used. I agree with you, but that is the simple truth.
