Hey guys, I received my repeat prescription on Friday of everything, I had 5 cartridges of insulin left in the fridge but always prefer to get more to be on the 'safe' side if you know what I mean, now what I received on Friday goes out of date before the stuff I had but as its been in the fridge longer not sure whether I should just use that first, what would you guys do? x
 
Personally I would use the ones that have the earliest end date first. Do you think you can use both lots before expiry? Having got caught out by a meter cartridge that would have expired within one week I always check before leaving chemist.
 
Yes I could use them all before the expiry, the ones I received on Friday expire this year but the cartridges I got BEFORE Christmas don't expire until 2019 :confused: lol x
