Just received my SD Codefree and test strips. Didn't realise it only comes with 10 lancets so didn't order more.
Can anyone tell me if these are available in chemists or do I have to order online and pay postage again?

Kicking myself now!
 
I 'think' I've seen them in my local LLoyds - but am pretty sure that some people on here have a code you can enter on-line to receive a generous discount on bulk purchases. I'm sure someone will provide it by the end of the day.

Thanks - I was given a code but couldn't see where to enter it when I ordered.
Just need to buy some lancets locally to keep me going.
 
No joy with Lloyds, but Boots may have some that fit.
Problem is that there is no name on the lancets so I'm calling in with my lancer so that they can advise me.

That confused me too! You don't enter the code until you're checking out.

You can buy them on Amazon or E Bay

Thanks - have seen them there. Just needed to get some quickly, so have bought a box of Bayer Microlet, which the pharmacist in Boots seemed to think would fit.
 
Your 10 lancets would probably last me well over 10 months, I only put a new one in when it starts to really hurt.

Interesting - really thought they were single use!

If it was being used by more than one person then I would insist on a new lancet every time but it's only my fingers getting stabbed and my hands are scrubbed beforehand so I can't see a problem with multiple use
 
Yup I only replace it about once a month too. Doesn't cause me any problems.
