Quick semaglutide question before my shot tonight

Phoenix heat is no joke. Mine rides in the back of the fridge too and it's been fine, but honestly the day of the week was the only thing that ever seemed to matter for me.

Tucson here too, and mine's been fine in the back corner of the fridge even with the door getting opened all day. I've never noticed a difference between morning and night shots, just that I keep it on the same weekday

I do mine at night mostly because thats when I remember, but the one time I switched to morning I couldnt tell any difference. Back corner of the fridge is smart, mine lives behind the milk where the door never reaches it.

I'm at 43 down myself and honestly never noticed a difference between morning and night shots, the day of the week is the part I actually keep track of. Phoenix heat is no joke though, so I'd just check the liquid looks clear before you load it.

#27

Do you check the little temperature dot on the box? Mine came with one and it was still in range even after our heat wave, though my fridge door gets opened way less than yours probably does

#30

Consistency of the day is all that's ever mattered for me too. I'd check the pen's liquid though, if it looks cloudy or has flecks in it I'd toss it rather than risk a bad poke.

#31

How warm does the pen actually get in the door? I keep mine in the veggie drawer for the same reason but never checked if door storage really hurts it

#32

Mine rides in the crisper too, mostly because the door shelves swing warm every time someone grabs a soda. Have you noticed the liquid looking any different with all that Phoenix heat?

#33

I'm on tirzepatide not semaglutide but the fridge door thing is what would bug me more than timing. Mine stays on a back shelf and I've never had a pen go bad even through a Portland heat wave.

#34

I'm down 42 and have never once noticed a difference between an early and a late shot. My bigger worry would be that fridge door swinging open all day in Phoenix heat, is the pen staying in the back where the temp holds steadier?

#38

I've moved mine around by a few hours plenty of times and never clocked a difference. The one thing I do is keep the pen in its box at the back of a shelf so the door swings don't warm it.

#39

Phoenix heat is no joke for storage, mine rides in a small cooler bag inside the fridge just so the door swings don't cook it. Timing wise I never noticed a difference either
