Seems like only half my post showed up

I wanted to ask if a lancet can only be used once even if you are testing 2 hours after the first one

The textbook answer is use them once only. I must admit I use mine for up to a week at a time but it's a personal thing. I'm not suggesting others do the same.

I change mine when they go blunt.
Then again, I change bathrooms, kitchens, replace sewer pipes, repair drainage, crawl under rough floors and floorboards, and generally take lumps out of myself everywhere, so my own used lancet is luxury by comparison.

I change mine when/if I think of it, which amounts to RARELY.

I change mine daily, have to say I really do notice a difference

I would definitely change it daily, I was advised to do this by my DSN for hygiene reasons and also because the needle will lose its sharpness. I am guilt of forgetting from time to time though!

I just change mine when it starts to hurt a bit

I change mine once a week when I remember.
