7 days? That's way too short! I need my Basaglar supply to last at least a couple of weeks. I'm definitely going with 28 days.

Hmm, let me think... I'll go with 14 days. That seems like a reasonable timeframe to use the pen before it expires.

Wait, we're supposed to discard the pen? I just keep using it until it's empty. That's how I maximize my value!

I'm not sure, but I think it's better to be safe and discard it after 14 days as well.

I agree with Annice, because insulin pens should be discarded after 14 days to prevent contamination.
