I’m a newbie, testing about 7 times a day, and been changing the lancet every time (mostly because that’s what the diabetic specialist nurse told me to do) wondering if I really need to reading this 

I regard it as helping to reduce single use plastic waste, and I do not need my sharps bin being collected (yet). Go with what you feel is acceptable for you,
Both Novorapid and abasaglar come in refillable pens, you might want to ask for those. Saves a lot of space in the butter compartiment tooI must say one of my biggest “concerns” is the sheer amount of plastic waste I create now purely through diabetes treatment

Needles
Novorapid and Abasaglar pens
Test strips
Sharps bins
So so much plastic
