I've tested 4 lancet devices over the last 60 days. All of them will work fine, but my favorite is the one that comes with the onetouch ultrasmart.

I also change lancets several times/day (not necessarily every reading, but almost).

I use the lancet device that came with my ultraMini; I like how small it is.

Change lacets every 5 or so pokes

One more multiclix user

Hi all...

I also use the multiclix that came with my Aviva, and I really like it. It was awkward to use at first, but it didn't take me long to get used to it.

I cycle the drum almost every time I test, so a drum will usually last about 1.5 - 2 days. With my Freedom Freestyle Lite lancet, I only changed about once a week...mostly because it was such a pain to change more often. With the multiclix, the drum just pops out and the new one pops in easily.

Assuming you don't get one for free Hocks.Com have Aviva meters with expired strips for $5 each and these come with a Multiclix and two drums. I bought one myself as a spare. The shipping a pain but I needed some other stuff as well so I could tack it onto the order.
