Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

I use them more than once. Just clean it with alcohol.

I use the multi-clix sometimes I forget to turn it, the biggest problem for me is .....the duller the Lancet the more it stings. You wipe the stick site with alcohol anyway so I think the choice is yours.

I would use it maybe twice, they can become dull if you use the same one over again and they can become more painful each time used. (and I don't use the alcohol, dries out my skin, I just wash my hands, but your preference)

so i was told by some one that it may caused a bacteria in me if i use many times even if i clean it with alcohol
grannie
I would be more worried about the stick hurting after several uses than bacteria.

I'll use mine to a maximum of three times ... cleaning with alcohol in between. Any more than that and the lancet becomes too dull. Even my diabetic nurse told me it was okay to use a lancet more than once.

I had gone to the grocery store. When I wheeled my cartback to my car I just stool there a minute. A few spacesaway a Tesla Cyber truck was parked. I had seen it on theroad a few times for a few seconds. But not close up.It looked like it belonged to 2126 and not 2026. I wasgoing to take a picture of the car but the owners cameback and drove away. It was an ordinary middle age...
