OK so I'm a twerp. I've got an AccuChek Aviva kit. I thought the pricker blade automatically changed to a fresh one after each use. When it didn't I thought it was bust so moved it myself. Then I realised the same pricker can be used many many times. I suppose if it gets blunt it will just bounce off or leave a dent.
How often is it considered good practice to change the blade ? And does it matter ? I don't think the blade hangs around long enough for any blood to actually get on it before it withdraws. Or am I doing it wrong ??
