A lot of people do when first starting out then they realize it's not at all
necessary unless testing someone else. I change mine when it begins to dull,
usually every 7 or 8 months, but if someone wants to change everytime they
test, no biggie. Certainly up to the individual.

I'm trying very hard to understand the logic of this. A box of 200 lancets would last you approximately 28 years, will your machine still be working in that time? Probably not, but you will still have unused lancets which in most likelyhood will not work with the newer machines. So the point of not using a clean and sharp lancet everytime is?
