[QUOTE="Zoot, post: 1215012, member: 120643"] Here in Australia, we have a National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) which supplies all lancets & needles for free and you don't need a prescription from your GP. I use a new needle for each injection, except if I am taking a bolus and a basal at the same time I use the same needle. I replace my lancet every month or so whether I need to or not! I like the St Swithens Day change over but will have to check my calendar! I might add that since going low carb last November (2015) I have lost 10 kilos and rarely need any fast acting insulin. I still take my Levimir twice a day, but when I see my Diabetes specialist in September I am hoping to reduce that. Before LCHF my BS was rarely below 10 mmol now I am in the 4-8 range all the time.
