   I always put mine in the fridge in the box it came in I thought it was
   always to be kept cold .Mine comes in a cooler by UPS .Was there
   something I missed I never saw where we were supposed to do anything
   else!!

   *I keep mine in the Byetta freebie cooler bag with the gel packs inside.
   That way, if I am in a hurry to go somewhere it is already packed up and
   cool. I live in the Houston area where the temps get too high to take
   chances on not keeping it cold.*

   Since the new recommendations have come out, this is what I’ve been doing
   also. It really is handy to just grab and go, and not have to worry about
   packing the thermos with ice, etc.

   Roy,

   The announcement is from the company, not the FDA.

   It says that, after first use, the pen can be stored at temperatures from 36
   degrees F. to 77 degrees F.

   That is not exactly the same as keeping it at room temperature.

   Hope that helps.

   Pam,
   
   Could you provide a link to the FDA announcement that Byetta has been
   aproved for room temperature storage?

   I had occasion to call the hot line because of blood in the pen and
   they asked how I stored the pen. When I told them that I stored it in
   the fridge, they didn’t volunteer any information about new
   guidelines, and I didn’t know to ask.

   Thanks,
   Roy

   I forgot to say on the link email but, my new pen I got a couple of days ago has
   the new storage information.
