[QUOTE="ewpfaffly, post: 1655138, member: 462814"] I change mine when it starts to hurt, usually every month. But I do use alcohol prep every time and so far I haven't got an infection or sore finger tips. I even reuse my needles. I change them out every week, bad I know, but so far have not had any issues. I keep them in the fridge along with my insulin. Since the V.A. sends me free supplies I should probably trade them out every time. The most important thing for me is that they pay for my test strips and insulin which saves me a ton of money. I ran out of test strips once and the local Wal-Mart wanted 87 dollars for one container of Accu-check Aviva strips. I have seen other meters that cost only $20.00 USD and the strips are way less expensive. If the V.A. didn't pay for them I would probably switch brands but I do think they are taking advantage of the govt. having a contract with them. [/QUOTE]
