I had another idea for when you're out on the go. Check the blog and see, :) I too like your Ebay idea* *wink* Hi Amy, I know this is an old post but I thought it was something that people are looking for ways to dispose of those strips most times.

Probably need to start thinking about disposing of those more carefully. Anyway, got a nice laugh out of the art, especially the waste one.

But do you know about Zoe Darling? She's an artist with Type 1 whose art will probably flip Sue out what with the whole "biohazard" thing and all. www.zoedarling.com for more info... Look for "Daily Pricks" in the Gallery part. Anyway, enjoy. And get going on your artistic career. :-) Amy,

But I think any person with diabetes would tell you that in practice that's not likely to happen. When you're testing multiple times a day and in multiple locations, you're lucky if they all make it to the trash. You might want to be a little more careful with that lancet than with the used test strip. Most communities have rules about how to dispose of "sharps," or lancets and syringes. Where I live, I'm supposed to put them in a hard container like an empty milk or soda bottle and seal the container well before I throw it out. You should be able to find guidelines for your city on the city's Web site under trash removal.

See above about the KIDDING part, Madeline. Geez, did anybody really think of selling anything made of USED test strips on eBay? Hmmm, I guess stranger things have happened :) Yup.
