I was newly diagnosed T2 in November and bought several books at that time. One of the books "What on Earth Can I Eat?" by Alan Shanley proved to be a good read and that advocated the test, test, and test again practice. I believe he also has a blog, but I haven't looked at that yet.
There was something he mentioned which intrigued me and I wanted to ask about it, especially as there is a lot mentioned in the forums about testing strips, but not lancets. Alan Shanley wrote that he doesn't use a new lancet for every test, in fact he uses the same one until it gets so blunt it hurts!!
So... I was wondering ... How many lancets do you use?
