Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Abbott FreeStyle meters are these lancets compatible with?

A: Abbott FreeStyle Lancets are compatible with Abbott FreeStyle lancing devices, including those supplied with the FreeStyle Lite, FreeStyle Optium and FreeStyle Libre systems. Always check your specific lancing device for compatibility. For FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 sensors, no finger-prick is required for routine scanning — lancets are only needed for confirmatory tests.

Q: Are FreeStyle lancets subsidised in New Zealand?

A: PHARMAC subsidises lancets for eligible patients with diabetes in New Zealand. If you have a prescription from your doctor, you may be entitled to subsidised lancets through your pharmacy. Ask our pharmacist about your eligibility and current subsidy criteria.

Q: How often should I change my lancet?

A: Lancets should be changed with every finger prick. Reusing lancets causes the tip to become blunted and barbed, increasing pain and the risk of skin trauma and infection. For optimal comfort and hygiene, always use a fresh sterile lancet for each test.

Q: How do I dispose of used FreeStyle lancets safely?

A: Used lancets are sharps and must be placed in an approved sharps disposal container — never in regular household rubbish. Many pharmacies including Pakuranga Pharmacy offer sharps disposal. Contact your local authority or pharmacy for details on safe sharps disposal in your area.
