Plus - No Prick Pain Vacuum Lancing Device for Diabetes Testing - Blood Sugar, Glucose, Ketone, and DNA Home Tests (Butterfly Blue)

I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes. I was given one option and one option only in what device I could use to help monitor my blood sugar. I spent weeks back and forth with both my doctor and my health insurance to put me on a new device but it was all for not. The lance I was using before was very much broken, even though I didn't know it was, and I was forced to poke myself over a hundred times a day. Quick reference, I have very sensitive skin and poking my fingertips causes issues so I poke my arm instead. After much complaining to my doctor they just suggested I test myself once or twice a week which I took as them just wanting me off their back so I stopped testing all together. My blood sugar was within normal range to slightly high so it wasn't that big of a deal. Then comes a new medication that boosts my blood sugar to dangerous numbers. I wasn't feeling right one day and decided to check my blood sugar, 422. I about had a heart attack. I started walking more than once a day, started eating much healthier than what I was and started testing my blood several times a day. By the second day I was just tired of all the poking and my arm was hurting and fatigued. I had to find a better way so I bought a new monitor and lance. Neither are covered by insurance but at this point I was desperate. Got the new monitor in Contour Next One. I wanted this monitor because it can test without the need of a lot of blood. Used the lance it came with and realized my old lance was broken. My old lance had an adjustable position system for the lancet to move up or down depending on the distance the tester needed to draw blood but mine didn't seem to work. The new lance did and I quickly found that sometimes the lance still hurt. Queue taking a giant leap in purchasing this lance. I hated the price, I mean I changed my mind so many times that it felt like I was breaking the Amazon website by how often I was adding and then deleting this lance from my cart. Finally I just shut my eyes turned away while I blindly ordered this lance. The day I opened this product I was intimidated by how well made it is. I expected something so cheap and fragile, like all the other lances I've seen. Because of its design I contributed that to how awful it'll be to use. I didn't feel a thing and it drew enough blood to test twice over. Sure it took a little trial and error to get the end size to draw that much blood but not a single time did it hurt. To be honest, until I lifted the lance I didn't think it worked at all until I saw that beautiful red dot on my arm begging to be scooped up by my test strip. I love this lance and am still surprised by how much it doesn't hurt. Yes it costs a lot for just a lance but I'm convinced it was a worthwhile investment into my journey with diabetes. If you read this far then thank you and if you are on the fence on this purchase like I was, take the leap it's so worth it. Also, if you were thinking of buying this for a child just know it comes with stickers for them to make the lance their own which is such a great idea in my opinion. Did I mention this lance doesn't hurt, just a reminder for those thinking of buying this for a child. No pain!

My dog was diagnosed with Cushing disease which likely brought on diabetes so my vet gave me materials to draw blood and test glucose levels. I was shown how to prick the inside of the ear with an individual needle and use a drop of blood in a glucose monitor for this process. I struggled and struggled to get enough blood so finally I went online and began searching for another method. I found the Blue Genteel Lancet and it looked good so I purchased it. Let me tell you it was a miracle. The company says that it makes drawing blood painless and it DOES! I tried the lancet on 4 different parts of my body and it is painless! I selected a small part of the dog's hip, trimmed the hair so a seal could be made. You hold the Lancet like a pen, put the rubber tip against the skin and trigger the mechanism, holding it firmly against the skin until a drop of blood big enough to activate the glucose monitor is obtained. Then you release the vacuum, insert the strip into the blood to activate the glucose monitor. It is so simple to use and my dog went from shaking violently to just laying on her side with no shaking. I know this lancet is expensive but it is worth every penny. My dog used to run away from me when I was going to prick her ear. She totally stressed out each time I picked her up in anticipation of the ear pricking process. I have never felt so inadequate at any level of care for my dog, including whelping, as I was while trying to measure her blood sugar. This lancet brought me relief and made the blood sugar testing an easy process. I recommend it to any pet owner.. You will be grateful to have an instrument that is easy to use and effective. Amazon, it would be helpful to have this item show with the group of lancets shown initially. I looked for a while until I came across it. It truly is a GREAT instrument.

This is easily the best lancing device for people afraid of needles. It’s me, I’m the someone TERRIFIED of needles. Seriously, giving blood is something I see in my nightmares. When I found out I had to consistently poke myself with a lancing device I did some research on the best ones. I was hesitant when I came across this one claiming to be pain-free but I tried it anyways. Best decision I could’ve made. I use the second largest gauge (yellow) and it works like a dream. Well, mostly. Depending on my chosen finger and if I’m pushing down a little it may not stab deep enough so I then have to try again. BUT it gets easier with practice and it genuinely doesn’t hurt. It’s more like a surprise than anything. Really the only drawback for me is how loud the spring is when it goes off. But I’ll take the noise over the pain.

It’s not worth the name “Genteel.” Not gentle at all, seriously. The first two rubber caps barely pierced my finger and third one hurt my finger still not enough drop of blood so I had to stroke from the baseline of my finger to the tip and squeeze and at times I had to prick again on a different site of the same finger or on a different finger. Those repeated stockings left quite ugly dark scars to the point where I thought I could not let the level of skin injuries continue. Another thing that bothers me is unlike other brands you have to grab the used lancet with your fingers and pull out of the device which I think is not only inconvenient but also not advisable because the blood-coated tip of the test strip might possibly have been contaminated. And finally when the release button is pressed the spring generates quite a loud noise with some vibration. Again not gentle at all. Been using this device a little over 2 months and the spring seems to be getting rougher when released. Unfortunately it is unreturnable as I missed the time. I would not recommend this device.

No hace daño, hay que adecuar la boquilla al lugar donde se utilice, es una firma de evitar los continuos pinchazos en los dedos, lo he utilizado en la palma de la mano y antebrazo, perfecto

Pungidito fenomenale! Innanzitutto se utilizzato con le lancette in dotazione è praticamente indolore (e io sono particolarmente sensibile). Permette di prelevare facilmente gocce perfette da siti alternativi senza dover premere, cosa che potrebbe falsare il risultato. Appena ricevuto è fondamentale leggere bene le istruzioni (c’è anche un pratico video su YouTube) perché non funziona come i normali Pungidito a cui potreste essere abituati. Lo consiglio assolutamente

Have been using it for 3+ months now. It's the only device I now use to check my sugar level; it really is less painful, and most of the time I don't even feel anything.I find that my palms and the back of my arm are the best places to get a blood drop. When you first get it, play around with the caps to get your best fit; for me, it was the yellow cap.

Was dubious at spending the money on this BUT it is honestly a brilliant item! Diabetic for over 20 and finally a pain free way to get blood for testing! The ability to move test sites is a life saver (my fingertips are very grateful!). I’ve been using it for a few days now and have no complaints at all. Delivery arrived earlier than expected, and the item comes with all information and kit you will need including a pouch to hold your meter, strips, needles and the device. A lovely touch is the addition of a sticker booklet which will be great if ordered for children.

Yes, this device is expensive but worth every penny because it works consistently well and does it with barely any sensation at all. My fingers have thick skin due to manual work and bass playing and was getting inconsistent results using the lancing device that came with my tester causing needless discomfort and time taken to reload the Lancet in order to try again. My fingers were beginning to smart so I looked for an alternate device and found the Genteel. I selected the clear tip for my Genteel and I test on my palm below my thumb. The Genteel removes the need to squeeze where you have lanced because it uses light suction to draw a sample bead to the surface. You see the bead appear and release the vacuum by lifting your finger from the button on the Genteel. Lift the Genteel off the site and bring the prepared meter the capture the sample. I usually press the used Lancet into the protective disc it came with to render it safe for disposal along with the test strip. The instructions are crystal clear and easy to follow. If you are unfortunate to have to test your blood glucose frequently or perhaps have to test a small child then this device can minimise the pain of testing and practically eliminate any discomfort in the tested area on going. The benefit justifies the cost of the Genteel in my opinion.
