Reuse of lancetas

The feathers of the feathers change them every time I click.Lancets every 5 or 6 times.

I did not know that you have to buy the glucometers 0, here they give them free.
And about the lancetas ... it gives me a lot of laziness, but the change when it already hurts, but it is for vags, since here they enter social security.

I do not change them, unless the prick bothers that means that the tip is half bad.Meanwhile, the same lancet is used 3, 6 months and even more ... if it lasts a year, good.Without problems.

I prefer to change it every day.It doesn't cost me more than 10 seconds to do it.
Even so, the fingers briefly, for something it will be.
This are not lancetas but you can get an idea of ​​how they will be with the uses.

While clicking well.That does not change it.I've been with the same months

In the diabetes two do not give them free. I was because my head doctor gave it to me and prescribed my strips, but I know no.

They do not give me glucometer or strips and when I ordered strips, they were shocked and my head doctor told me

I usually change every nine or ten punctures.

The last time I bought 200 lancet for € 9 at Amazon, so I don't cut much with the subject either.The strips are another song.I no longer find them for less than € 35 anywhere.

PD: Lancetas sent from Abbott, with what bolis can be used?It is that I have never sent any ball, but lancetas do send every two or less shipments.

I throw them 20 euros.But the doctor prescribed them and you leave me for 1'90.

They do not give me glucometer or strips and when half I asked for strips they were shocked and my header told me that I do not speak

I changed my doctor because my neighborhood grew and the same said that not even speaking.I asked who had a lifetime and gave me the glucometer and prescribed my strips

I believe that these photos are from the companies that sell the lancets and wantI see that it is not effective, the change

More than because they spoil the change daily for a hygiene theme.It is sterile and once used they are no longer.

Yes, in a way you are 100% reason.Since you use them are not sterile.And I could tell you "I have a year using the same lancet without problem" but that does not take value to your argument.As an analogy, a person can drive a car at 80kmh every day for 5 years without seat belt without anything happens, but that does not mean that he is right.He has not spent anything for 5 years ... until one day ....: S

good afternoon, I am currently using acu chek fastclix to prick and measure my glucose, in Argentina they do not give us all the continuous meter Freestyle.I wanted to know if it is really necessary to discard the lancet in each use.I know that this is the most recommended, but when we are short of resources and if the correct asepsis is used, perhaps they could be reused.I read your opinions, thank you very much

Hello.In case it serves you.I am an old man who has been with DM-1 for 56.At first, there were no hair determinations, I witnessed how the first devices appeared.I never listened to any recommendation.If you throw the needle every time, you need a huge supply that puts you in trouble with the nurse.I use the lancetas indefinitely until I notice that they no longer click.You can spend years until I change them.

I try, yes, observe a minimal hygiene, clean them with alcohol if blood has come out, that there is no roña in the machine, etc.But change the lancetas, the latest.I have changed the model (together with the device), and I had to throw the old ones.

The only problem that I have had in 56 years: once, I had a small skin infection on a finger, manifested by light inflammation and pain.It was resolved in a couple of days by topical application of bactericidal cream (Botroban).

You are more right than a saint.I do the same as you.These single -use recommendations come from lancet manufacturers.
Greetings and luck !!!

Well, you will know.I try to avoid any infection, however small.
I paid them and they were very cheap and changing them is 5 seconds.Maybe change it for a puncture (I did it at the beginning) is excessive, but endure it years ...
In fact, my brother your doctor puts the tetanus vaccine because it reuses lancetas and needles many days (it's yours)
There each one.

At first I reused them but it is true that they lose the edge and in each puncture Dolia more.Now I use them only once.As clear that can be reused and more when resources are missing.

I have had lancetas that after 6 months I change them just to change them because they really work perfect, they do not hurt or anything.Of course I do not use it daily, I use them 4 times a week, very little, but I do not change them followed, at all

Reuse vaccine needles is something else.But a lancet that you have in the puncture only you, and that is a tiny needle, I think it is different.I think.personal opinion.
