[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1215034, member: 138639"] It is not the best advice from a doctor - but to be honest I always reused my needles, but only for the same day, and never more then once. I never had a problem aside from the second use stinging a bit more then the first, but that's all, and it wasn't even that bad lol I would recommend reusing, its the easy way, and honestly its no different from reusing your finger lancet, its actually probably better then the finger lancet because it doesn't draw blood. The manufacture suggests not reusing them because you use more needles and they get more money and a second use is basically the same as the first except the lubrication on the needle is no longer there. Just throw them away if you drop them lol [/QUOTE]
