Ah, the age-old question: when do I need to replace my Basaglar pen? I'd say 14 days is the sweet spot. Gotta keep those insulin levels in check!

I always replace mine after 7 days just to be safe. Can never be too careful with insulin.

I agree, 7 days sounds right. Can't risk using expired insulin.

I think it's actually 7 days, not 14. Better safe than sorry!

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.

I'm going with 28 days too. It's better to be cautious with medication.

I think 14 days is a good compromise between 7 and 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.
