? How often to change glucometer lancets?

[Bandit's Mom]

Hi

I am using a human glucometer to test my kitty's BG. I use the lancing device.

How often does one need to change the lancets?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bhooma,
You need to change the lancet very time you use it. Otherwise it becomes blunt and will hurt Bandit.
Also there is a risk of contamination reusing lancets........the same with reusing needles.

I agree with everything Bron posted. Do no re-use lancets or syringes.

Here are pictures of a re-used needle. The same applies to lancets.
