Reuse of lancetas

Axeelf97's profile photo   02/23/2024 12:07 a.m.

Good afternoon,

I am currently using Acu Chek Fastclix to prick and measure my glucose, in Argentina they do not give all the continuous Freestyle meter.

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.Here in the forum you will find everything, who changes it in each puncture and who leaves it 3 weeks ...
My conclusion is that it can be reused.I before changing it in each puncture, now I use one a day, but if you are scarce I don't think anything happens to use it a little more.
If you put lancetas in the search engine you will read a lot on the subject.

If you wash your hands well before clicking you can reuse it several times.Put the prick at least, not to hurt you.

It is a lot of work everything.:(

And before I did not change the alley of the bolis, but they told me that they could remain metallic remains in the body and already tried to change them more often.I think that with the lancets there is no danger.

I change the needles of the feathers only when they hurt me.The slow one lasts an entire pen, because I get a lot.The quick needle, as I say, change if it hurts or if insulin is precipitated inside and Atora.I know I shouldn't do so, but in 30 years anything has never happened to me.

I usually change them 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 boli, but lancetas do send every two or less.

It is more than anything the time you waste changing the lancet.And besides, every time you change it, the puncture regulation is lost a bit.

As for the strips, in Amazon are the accouchek instant at € 35, but 100 strips (2 boxes).And for the same price 200 strips (4 boxes) of the brand Sinocare.

My glucometer is the One Touch Verio and the strips are very expensive.6 months ago I was removed from the recipe and I have been buying them on Amazon, but now they have uploaded them enough price.

I have been looking to buy a cheap glucometer as a support for the sensor but I do not finish trusting the accuracy of those cheap glucometers.

To the people of this forum: could you comment your experience with glucometers of those "unknown" brands?

Thanks in advance.

I was comparing those that gave me in the Cap, the action instant, with those of Sinocare de Amazon and did not see difference.99% of the time they did the same, once the Sinocare failed and again the action failed.

Try to buy a cheap meter and compare them yourself with those of your One Touch Verio, to see if it convinces you.In the long term you save a very large paste.

When at first they gave me a strip a day and I had to buy a glucometer, the vital exactive, in Amazon, which has the cheap strips and did what Sherpa says, check with mine one touch select plus and the truth, the results were very similar.I still have some One Touch box but when they end, as they don't give me anymore, I will return to the other or if I have to buy another I will, but step to pay the pasta that are worth those of One Touch.
The lancetas used them in the ball from which I bought, which is standard, it is true that the One Touch was weird.They must be lower because I have to raise the number, if not, they do not click.I don't like them very much, but hey, I use them.
I bought another spare ball at Aliexpress one day that I read here the problem that was broken/ lost ... the ball.It is this Amazon (the typical) but in Aliexpress it cost me very cheap.

I change the approx of every 4-5 days.Look for options in Mercado Libre, from Lancetas with its own tidr of lancetas, there are some very economical the truth.

I never change it and I have never had any problem.Moreover, when I buy the unocare strips they send me as many lancet as strips, and the lancettes shot them in the trash.I only change it when it hurts, and it is very rare.

Although each one is free to do what it seems, it has been recommended for years not to reuse insulin needles more than once.
I do reuse the lancetas (for laziness), but it is not advisable
