how many times do you good people use the same lance to draw blood?
 
Honestly, this is bad, but I test my sugars ten times a day and probably change the lancet one a fortnight!!
 
Thanks I have been wondering about the same thing, my only concern was if you took a reading and it was a High BG. Would a residue stay on the lancet and effect the next reading.....strange didn't think about the hygiene issue...
 
Change mine daily - so use it anywhere between 4 and 10 times before changing it
 
I keep using it until it stops working or gets painful. A box of lancets lasts me a very long time.
