I really like Accu-Chek's Multiclix lanceling device as there are no sharps to dispose up. Walgreen's has it on "sale" for $19.99 and has an instant coupon for an additional $10.00 off. That means the device itself (with 12 lancelets) runs $9.99
I'm going to snag another one this weekend.
While I like the size of the one that comes with the Flash, it huts. The Multiclix doesn't.
Professional Patient: Be Kind to Yourself after an Appointment
I actually go one step further -- during the school year, I schedule one or two appointments together -- usually ending with my CDE in the afternoon, because no matter how bad things have been, she's always on MY side.
Then I take the whole day off and take myself out to lunch. Nothing is a better treat for a teacher than real lunch with adults in the room and someone serving you. In other words, don't go to a buffet!
