[QUOTE="shirleymarye, post: 132039, member: 24015"] [b]Re: Sharps Disposal - Help Needed[/b] This is something that has always bothered me,I am Type 2 and test every day but have never been sure what to do with the used lancets or test strips,I moved here to Scotland about 9 years ago and I asked at the surgery about getting a proper container for them or disposing of them at the surgery and was told No I couldn't get a container and No I couldn't dispose at the surgery! Since then I have put them into a glass jam jar and when it's full I empty it into a strong box and wrap it up well and tape it and then throw in with the general rubbish,if they don't want to know about them,then neither do I. I would hate to think that someone got pricked with one of these things but it's not my fault is it? [/QUOTE]
