    I noticed 2 large bubbles (about the size of an apple seed) in the nearly new lantus pen I've ben using. I just opened it a couple days ago. I know I didnt shoot air into it. I know these are suppose to be vacuum sealed, no air. Is it okay to use? Air is getting in somehow.

    yes.
    Do you have it in a nested safe area of the fridge? like a cup on the top shelf....

    You don't want it in the door where it gets jostled.

    Yes, it's in a container on the top shelf. I am extremely careful. So you think it's okay to use?

    This is the pen, not the vial though. Did you mean pen?

    I had the pen too. They both can get air trapped.
