[QUOTE="runner2009, post: 524578, member: 95489"] Sounds like you are on the right track. As for lancets I hate when I don't draw enough blood so I make them as deep as possible. I have a box of 100 that is going into about a year old and I test 4 to 8 times a day I change the lancets when they bend or break - no infection yet LOL As for the needles for the insulin pen I change those every couple of days keeping it all in the fridge - my GP is horrified!!! Good luck to you soon this will be old hat and you will feel in control - just remember to always test and eat to your meter Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
