Quick semaglutide question before my shot tonight

I've been on the 1mg dose for a few months now and down over 50 lbs, but tonight's shot has me wondering something. Do you all find it matters much what time of day you inject, or is it really just about consistency? It's been hot as blazes here in Phoenix and my fridge door gets opened a lot, so I also want to make sure the pen is still good before I use it.

I switched to mornings after a couple of rough nights and it made zero difference for me, so I just keep it on the same weekday. On the pen, mine has survived a summer of kids raiding the fridge, but I do check the liquid is still clear before every poke.

#4

I switched from mornings to evenings a couple months back and honestly couldn't tell the difference. My bigger worry living here is the Chicago summer, so I keep the pen in the back of the fridge away from the door

#6

I do mornings because it fits my routine, but honestly I think the steadiness matters more than the hour. On the pen, mine lives in a door shelf that gets plenty of traffic in July and it's been fine, just glance at the liquid for cloudiness before you jab.

#7

Morning versus night never seemed to change anything for me, but I do keep the pen in the same spot in the fridge so I am not digging around while the door hangs open.

#8

Do you actually notice a difference on shot day depending on the time, or does it all feel the same by the next morning? I've only ever done one slot so I have nothing to compare it to.

#10

I've been doing evenings just because that's when I remember, and I've never noticed a difference. Curious whether anyone actually switched times and felt something change.

#14

how long has the pen been out of the fridge on shot night? I draw mine and let it sit a few minutes while I prep dinner, and mine has been fine, but Phoenix heat would make me twitchy about leaving it out long

#15

Morning person here too, mostly because it just fits my routine. My fridge gets opened constantly and I've never had a pen go bad, but I'm curious whether anyone actually tracks the temp in there.

#16

I'm about 45 down myself and switched from mornings to evenings a while back, never noticed a difference. Honestly the heat question worries me more than timing does, have you tried just feeling the pen to check it's still cold?

#17

Morning vs night never changed anything for me either, but I do keep mine toward the back of a lower shelf, not the door. Curious if you notice any difference when you switch up the time.
