I know that some time ago we had this discussion, but are people on here still using the same Lancet more than once? Only I took my BG and had a higher number than usual, I took it again and the same thing. I had used my Lancet 3 times beforehand as many on here said that they always use the Lancet more than once. I usually only use once then throw away, except on this occasion. Puzzled by my higher reading I took the Lancet out and actually could see blood on it. I changed the Lancet for a new one and took my BG again twice and the result was much lower, more like my normal readings. This tells me that using the same Lancet can give false readings as my instruction book tells me.
