November 5, 2009 3:35 PM Just in case anyone has issues like I do. I had my glucose checked at Little Clinic yesterday because they are doing free screenings and I like to see what they get for readings. It is where I shop. Anyway, I have not been able to get blood out of the side of my finger and get little out of the pad. I thought it was the lancing device but now I believe it is ME.....She tried several times before she got enough for BS and Cholesterol Pros:easy to use and can use other areas Cons:sometimes doesn't spring load and you must redo |

November 4, 2009 6:43 PM I have been using this lancet device for years. Pros:Though I use an ACCU-Chek compact meter, I prefer the FreeStyle Lancet device. It's easier to use and I like that I can put the twist off top back on the needle once it's used. |

October 6, 2009 12:03 AM I am new at this and just received my meter the Freestyle Lite when I attended a health fair. I seem to have issues getting blood out of the side of my finger which is suppose to be less painful. This has 5 levels so I am not sure if I need a higher number. I tried numbers one and two and they did not draw blood from the side Pros:easy to use
not painful, I am a wimp FYI Cons:not sure what numbers to use for my forearm and side of finger |

August 21, 2009 6:08 PM A nice lancing device. Small, yet very little pain. I like the fact that I can also use it on my arm instead of fingers. Pros:Small, can use on arm. Cons:none |

October 2, 2008 1:52 PM I have never used another lancing device, so I don't know if there is a better one or not. I do really like the freestyle one that I have though. I have tried it on my arm once, but didn't draw very much blook, so haven't tried it since. |
