Frequently asked questions
Is Abbott Freestyle 100 Thin Lancets 28 Gauge subsidised through the NDSS?
Many diabetes products in Australia are subsidised through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS). Whether Abbott Freestyle 100 Thin Lancets 28 Gauge specifically attracts an NDSS subsidy depends on the current NDSS Product Schedule and your NDSS registration status. Check with your NDSS Access Point (usually a community pharmacy) or call the NDSS on 1800 637 700 to confirm subsidy and co-payment for your situation.
How should I store Abbott Freestyle 100 Thin Lancets 28 Gauge?
Refer to the on-pack storage instructions. As a general principle, diabetes supplies should be stored below 25-30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Insulin and biological products may need refrigeration before opening — always check the specific product labelling for Abbott.
When should I replace Abbott Freestyle 100 Thin Lancets 28 Gauge or seek medical advice?

How do I safely dispose of used diabetes supplies?
Used sharps (lancets, syringes, pen needles, used insulin pump cannulas) must be placed in an approved sharps container — never in household rubbish or recycling. Many community pharmacies accept full sharps containers for safe disposal. Your local NDSS Access Point can advise on disposal services in your state or territory.
