The Multiclix that comes with the Accu-chek Aviva is my favorite.

Lasette Plus for Home Use (http://www.cellrobotics.com/lasette/home.html)

there is a product out there that uses a laser. it's stated as painless, but i never knew anyone that had one. There was one I saw in a doctors office in NY years ago, but again, he did not push it. Saying it was expensive, insurance would not pay for it, and that there is no advantage over a lance.

I really like my one-touch ultra soft pen....i'm a wuss, but this doesn't bother me very much...it has several depth settings as well.

It's called the vacu-lance. I don't remember the company name though

Vaculane. Bayer made it. It sucked royally. You don't really need suction with the newer meters cause they only take .3-1 ul. They invented it back in the olden days when meters took 4 ul. And they even stopped making it. Any lancing device will accept an ast cap now.
