My lancet can go one, two even three month without change it

Not very often at all. Maybe once every two weeks if I remember?!

When it starts to feel like it is actually sticking in my finger and is hard to pull out I change it.

Agh. I'm pretty lazy about this - every two or three days - wheneer I remember. I test 6-10 times per day.

Ditto to what you said. The only reason I can even remember the last time I changed my lancet is because I just did it yesterday. :D - We tested my little brother-in-laws sugar because he's been in some trial thing since he was born, so I changed it before and after too. :)

I do the same thing! I change it when I check someone else's blood sugar. I think that that's only about every six months. If you want to be lazy about some aspect of diabetes care, I think that this is a good one to choose ;)

when I remember that its a consumable. Last time I actually changed was around the first week of January. I test 3 to 5 times per day. I have been planning to change it out as it has gotten a bit painful, and the blood is not flowing as easy now.

When I was a kid I changed it every time. Of course back then I also use alcohol swabs every time as well. 8^)

Ivan!

I test 10 times a day, and I change it when it starts to hurt, so usually every week or so.
