[QUOTE="Md.rose, post: 785908, member: 70875"] I am type 2 and thanks to NICE guidelines get only one test strip per week! However I purchased the code free meter as the test strips are half the price of the other meters I had. Yes definitely wash and dry hands before testing. I use to do one time use for lancets but since NICE it is changed less frequently, I test just once a day at night to make sure that I don't go to bed when my levels are high, I change the lancet once a week which is about once in 7 -10 tests. But what I also do is to put the lancet back into the plastic of the top cap which cleans the lancet and protects it from germs until the next test. [/QUOTE]
