[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 140677, member: 16874"] I reuse lancets because whenever I start a new one I get fingerpricks that take forever to stop bleeding. Then I end up bleeding all over my results book, which is just gross! I definitely wouldn't leave a needle attached to an insulin pen. That just leaves a link from the germy outside world to the inside of your insulin cartridge. I prefer it to be sealed off really. I'm not germ obsessed, in fact I think the germ obsession is dangerous and is the cause of mrsa and the epidemic of allergies, but I think injection are one of those areas where it's better to be safe than sorry. Also when you reuse needles it gets more painful each time. [/QUOTE]
