[QUOTE="jamesmacc, post: 575058, member: 113828"] excuse my terminology i call it a finger pricker but im not sure whats the correct word is for it, i have been testing for years and recently upgraded myself to a nice bayers contour usb to keep track of my records etc, i noticed when reading the quick start quide that it says you should replace the lancet needle every time you test, with my old meter i only replaced it every 5 times because this is how i have done it since i was diagnosed as a boy and no one has ever told me they were single use. got me thinking i have probably been risking infection all these years from reusing them?
