As a relevant "newcomer" to diabetes can anybody here please advise me of best and safest way of disposing of lancets after they've been used?
Thanks

Have you enquired about your local council's clinical waste policy? I rang mine and they delivered a sharps bin which they will collect and replace when full by me calling the same numberDippy3103 said:I have located an old coffee jar which I will put said lancet in... Will take ne ages to fill it and will ponder on what to do with the thing when full.
