[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1278253, member: 93179"] I have a Fastclicx (similar gadget) and because the "pricky bits" are nicely contained in the little drum cassette I'm quite happy to change them only when the lancets get blunt/painful to use. Each little drum of six lasts me ages, and 'mI still working my way through the original pack of 200 I bought when I first started testing! I might possibly act differently with individual disposable lancets unless i could keep them clean and safe between pricks. But it's really up to you what you feel happy or safe doing - there's no real rules about this as long as you are aware of any potential hygiene issues - it's your fingers, after all! :D And lancets are the cheapest past of our testing equipment so costs shouldn't be a really serious issue if you choose to replace after each use.
