Definitely!
I would like to point out that if you use the frozen biogel, you might want to use the thermometer that comes with the package to test the temperature inside the cooler before first use. Manufacturer recommends to leave the frozen biogel thats fresh out of freezer in room temperature for 5-10min before placing it in the cooler otherwise temperature inside might be too cold for the pen. I also tested the length of time the cooler stayed at desired temperature range. If I recall correctly, the one I bought provides ~17hours of desired temperature.
Forteo is such an important drug that it is worth all the trouble, if we think these are "troubles" at all. With the lift of 2-year usage limit, it plays a key role in the long term management of osteoporosis should one need repeated boost in bone density in the future. Moreover, in the event that one needs aids in fracture healing or oral surgery/implants - you know you have Forteo to count on. Keep a record of your bone turnover makers (if you decide to do them) and get annual dxa preferably with tbs. You have a solid tool on hand.
