As my health board is changing everyone to cheaper pen needles and lancets, I had a meeting with the community pharmacist at my GP practice. She said that needles and lancets should NOT be re-used (so that was good!)
However, she did try to prescribe me 28G lancets. I pointed out that I was using 30G ones at the moment and didn't want to change to thicker ones. She had to check online to confirm that the lower the gauge, the thicker the lancet!
