[QUOTE="manrug13, post: 1283876, member: 48820"] I have been diabetic for nearly 22 years, I was always told never to reuse needles or lancets. Once used they tend to dull, also with lancets you could run the risk of false readings if any blood remains on them from previous use or if you try to clean/re-sterilise them, the solution could also cause a false reading too. I know things have advanced a lot in that time, but even based on thw dulling of the tips it would make it more painfull over time. [/QUOTE]
