[QUOTE="copepod, post: 499897, member: 21372"] I only change if lancet is too blunt to puncture my skin, or if I drop finger pricker and lancet tip might have touched something I wouldn't want pushed into my skin. So, about once ebvery 6 months, with 2 meters in use at any one time, 1 at home, 1 for out & about. I'd rather the NHS didn't waste money on paying for lancets and bins for me, nor the cost of disposing of clinical waste safely. Using only about 4 lancet a year, plus a few pen needles, means it takes me years to fill a sharps bin! [/QUOTE]
