[QUOTE="Dougal, post: 525796, member: 44027"] Unfortunately, I have seen (through the use of an electron microscope) what damage not changing your lancet or needle every time causes to your skin, blood vessels and flesh. It really is not pretty! Also, it is the main cause of scarring, which builds up over time. For insulin, this leads to unpredictable/irratic absorption and for blood testing - well, let's just say that I know someone in his early 30s who has to stab himself with a scalpel in order to get sufficient blood to test! Please, be kind to yourselves and change your sharps every time! Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
