[QUOTE="bunty, post: 36299, member: 11638"] Heck, i change my lancet at least three times a year, whether it's blunt or not! Every now and then when i find the thing isnt getting my fingers to cough up enough blood, i actually think to swop out the old lancet for a shiny new sharp one. I keep my stabber set to 'stun' (level 1) as a way to make sure i dont persevere with a really blunt lancet. But i dont test every day, usually. Lately i have been trying to keep tabs on my levels more regularly because my meds were reduced and i need to see how that's impacting on my BG. Now, wracked with guilt and shame, i hurried to my testing kit to do the right thing and change lancets, only to discover i have none with me. That means a search is scheduled for tonight when i get home - they came into the house so they must be there somewhere! I was wondering if i could trade-in a few boxes of unused lancets for a new box o' test strips - d'you tihnk that'd work? bunty [/QUOTE]
