[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1897708, member: 429870"] I do empathise. Before finding out I had raised bg I was utterly squeamish about the idea of sticking a needle into myself. In fact I used to worry in case I ever had one of the health problems that require us to self-inject. I was convinced I could never bring myself to do it. But the thought of that raised bg so panicked me, suddenly sticking a lancet into my finger seemed like almost nothing. Especially as the spring loaded "gun" does it for me. I think you're over the hump by now, but I just wanted to confirm that if you were a wimp abut lancets, there are lots more wimps here! About re-using / changing lancets, we are divided. I personally use my lancet so long, I tend to forget that it ever has to be changed, and then after about 3 months wonder why it's hurting more than it used to! Others prefer to change every test / every week ... They are not very expensive but I couldn't face the extra faff and waste of changing frequently. [/QUOTE]
