where the heck have YOU been, Celeste

i reuse my lancet until St Swithin's Day, when someone posts it's 
occurance here in order to remind us to change our lancet

do a google group search for St Swithin's Day, i'm sure it's been posted 
for the last 6 years............... i also know that in 1999 when i came 
to the newsgroups, i discovered that you CAN reuse a lancet

i bet you use alcohol to wipe the area where you are giving an insulin 
injection as well
