Accu-ChekSoftclix Lancets - 100 ea

I use these with the Accu-Chek Softclix lancet device. If you do not have Softclix lancing pen to use with these, I recommend getting one. Drawing a sample is often pain-free, and always less painful than the TruTest lancet pen and lancets I used before. I am happy with how easy this is to use, the push button eject boost helps remove used lancets without accidental stabs. I am surprised at how much better the Softclix is than the other lancing pen I tried (I'm a new home blood tester).The Softclix also loads and "fires" better. The button that releases the spring and point for the "stab" seems more firm and fast. The Soctclix device seems better made, less shaky, tighter tolerances. Another reviewer wrote that the Softclix is less painful because it has fewer/dampens vibrations when the needle goes in, and that seems true in the "feel" of the Softclix lancing pen. A smaller puncture with these tips also seems to bleed better for some reason, allowing me to draw enough blood with a 2.5 gauge (depth) puncture, where I needed a deeper puncture (5 depth on the gauge) with the TruTest lancing pen.

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 18 years. I test my blood sugar an average of 7 times per day. I've tried almost every lancet testing device on the market and the SoftClix is definitely the least painful.These are about half the price of what my local drugstore charges.By the way, for any new diabetics out there who don't know, you can test on you knees. No pain at all. At least a dozen times over the years, I've checked my knee and then immediately checked again on my finger and the results have been within 5 points of each other. Close enough for me. I use a Bayer Contour meter. You need just enough blood to make the meter beep and the test strip fill up to where it's supposed to, but be careful....too MUCH blood can throw off the reading just as well as too LITTLE blood. At least that's what I was told by a Bayer technician over the phone.I know you're supposed to change the lancet every time you test, but for all these years, I've used the same lancet for about 3 or 4 tests, so I use two a day. Never had a problem.

Have been purchased accu-chek set for many times. Works perfectly fine. Delivery is quick.

The fact that the needle is real sharp. No dullness.

It's strange to say this about a product designed to poke a hole in your skin so you can bleed but if you have to do it, you want a product that will do it as painlessly but efficiently as possible. That is this product. I live overseas and these lancets are not available in my location so I buy things like this from Amazon and pick them up when I go home every few months or so. I like the flat body over the square body lancet and when I use it, I hardly feel it piercing the skin but I always, and I mean always, get blood. Sometimes I'm even surprised I get blood because I didn't feel it going in. I don't know but it seems to me that the needle is sharper or smaller than other brands I've used. Maybe some of it is the location on my fingers? What I can say for sure is that this is the brand of choice for me.

Name brand at a reduced price delivered to my doorstep.

As advertised and the exact item that comes with the Accu-Check rest kit. I have since found out that this product is covered under my Medicare. The price is decent for 100 sterile lancets but the price with Medicare is $1.65 for 100. So I won't be buying it again from Amazon.

I've spent years cringing even at the though of using lancets to draw blood for my glucose meter. Sometimes in the past I was so fearful of the pain (small that it has been really) that I avoided testing as frequently as I knew I should--and then being so mad at myself for my cowardice! Then I switched to an Accu-Chek meter and started using these lancets. At first I did my normal cowardly cringing but was absolutely astounded by the minimal pain of the pricks. I am sold. I draw blood reliably with an intermediate puncture setting. The device is easy to use. I know that I will manage my diabetes much better now that I am not so intimidated by finger pricking.
