My grandmother didn't know she could change them. Several years ago I was visiting with her for several days and was changing the lancet and as complaining about dropping the needle cover. She said she never had that problem because she didn't need to change her's. I checked her lancet and it was changeable, but she never had done it. I had to show her after she had been using the same one for nearly who know how long!

Too funny. I know a lot of people don't change them on the site, but they do get dull and it hurts more.

I change mine when the mood hits me about once every few weeks.

Yeah, I have to admit, I only ever change Eric's when he starts saying "ow" when I poke him. The daycare folks are better about it though.

I change mine maybe every 6 months or longer. I really can't feel a difference between a new one & an old one.

I 'm usually a 1-2 week changer. It seems I've got a stash of lancets to last a lifetime.

Wow! I only do two pokes (perhaps three) per lancet and I thought THAT was "illegal" (in diabetes care terms!) (Just to let you know, I'm not new to diabetes, have had it for 31 yrs.)

Oh I hope I didn't come across sounding insulting -- that was not intended at all, sorry! I realize that they are expensive and that's the reason I started reusing mine.
