I am curious how often everyone out there changes lancets for testing. I test between 10-12 times a day, but I get sick of changing them. Lately I have gone weeks, sometimes as long as a month or two before I change them. Aside from the pain from a dull lancet, are there any other downfalls to this practice? Should I get in the habit of changing them more frequently?
And as for the sensors, I have finally mastered the art of getting them to last (and function properly) for more than 3 days. Now, I am wondering if there is somewhere other than my abdomen that works out well for sensor placement. between rotating my infusion site for my pump, and the CGMS, I tend to run out of comfortable spots to place either. So I guess the question can be the same for the infusion sites as well….??
thanks for any advice!
