This lancet has a built in vacuum feature for alternate site testing. Thomas has been using it for months he says it is painless compared to finger sticks.

I've used it before. I like alternative testing, but this isn't the device I normally use. It's good, but the look of it scares me. Might be nice to try if you normally have trouble getting blood from alternative sites. i have sensitive skin, so that's never a problem for me.

No offense,

But that looks like something Count Dracula might carry with him,

its actually the same size as the onetouch but pain free

Looks like a pretty cool little device to me. And great for anyone who's afraid of lancing, I would think.

Great post :thumbsup:

sorry, nantomsuethom.

Was being a doofus, typical male response of "It's not what I'm doing so there must be something wrong with it."


If it works for you, Great:thumbsup:

I have found my other alternative site devices less painful, but of course everyone is different. It could be the type of lancets he uses too. Something I always found odd about it was that it is sort of weird to change depth settings. How did Thomas get his?

[nantomsuethom]

No need for appologies rzrbks (but I'll except- lol), it is a little strange looking in that picture.

Thomas' endo recommended it so we searched the web and ordered it from Bayer. He is actually getting another one in the mail tomorrow. He uses it so much (only about 7-8 months old) he wore it out - they are replacing it for free.

they are replacing it for free.

Excellent!!
