It’s very important to dispose of single-use lancets or any other sharps safely and responsibly.
If you have diabetes and are monitoring your blood sugar at home, your GP can prescribe something called a sharps bin, which you can use to dispose of your used lancets safely.
When your bin is full, you can arrange for it to be collected and disposed of by your local council, giving you peace of mind in knowing that you’ve disposed of your sharps safely.
