I used to use these to check my blood sugar! I was diagnosed in 1981 at age 6. They didn't have lancing devices back then...they had foil-wrapped individual pointed razor blades that you had to manually poke yourself with! (Medieval torture devices, I say!). Seeing this bottle and packaging brought back memories!
