[Diabetes-Talk] Lancing devices.

[sandi]

I don’t know if it’s okay or not, but the lancets each have a little end that you twist off to expose the new sharp end. After I’ve ejected the old lancet, I insert the new one in the lance, then twist off its end and put the end of the lance back in place. Then I jam the old lancet into the end I took off the new lancet so that it’ fits tightly and just toss it into the trash.

Sandy, I brought a Delica home from a conference and played with it a bit. I'll have to look at it again to see if I can figure out about where you can jam the lancet because I didn't figure it out initially. Can you take a stab at a further explanation? <grin>
Thanks so much, everyone.

Hi Veronica,

I use OneTouch Delica Lancets. They are also a thinner lancet, and there is a twist-off end into which you can cram the sharp end of the old lancet. I like them very much.

Hi everyone!
Well, time to face the end of another era for me. <grin> The nice lancing device that came with my FreeStyle meter is getting old. I have been using BD ultrafine stabbers and BD is one of the many companies that have been getting out of various parts of the diabetes business. 
What I liked about the BD stabbers is that they had a really nice easy cap to replace, making disposal really simple. It was also nice when I tested away from home. I'd like to know which ones all of you prefer, both for getting enough blood and for ease of handling after the fact. Thanks so much.
Veronica
