Poll dates: September 22 - 29, 2002
Total Votes: 832

Given the cost of diabetes supplies, many people find that reusing lancets and syringes makes sense. Over half (61%) of our respondents reuse just lancets. 13% report reusing both lancets and syringes. Only 1% report reusing syringes but not lancets. Some people (2%) reuse lancets or syringes on occasion.

You can safely reuse lancets and syringes if you follow the guidelines outlined in Reuse Your Syringes and Lancets.
