[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 115647, member: 20149"] I use the Accu Chek Multiclix. Quite often they come free on ebay or part of a bundled offer when I order my strips. I test 4-8 times a day and I usually get through 1 drum (6 needles) a week. I do notice however that on first, second and third (ish) usage, that the prick is painless and that after approx 4 to 6 usages, the prick begins to make me recoil as pain becomes evident. So based on my experience, I would say if you can get them cheaply enough use for 3 times per needle but make sure you always wash your hands, not only to prevent infection but importantly, to ensure that your readings are not affected by contaminants. All the best - Steve. [/QUOTE]
