Default Not all lancets are the same!

Hi, I just wanted to mention that some of the lancets are NOT painful, I use BD Ultra-Fine 30 gauge now & can hardly feel it at all.

Also, if your fingers are getting sore perhaps prick on the side of the finger rather than the pad (this is helpful for all of us chronic computer typists).

I use the Ultra One Touch & believe it is pretty accurate.

Anyone questioning the accuracy of their tester should take it to a pharmacy or to the doctor & compare with another tester. A difference of 10 points could be a big deal for some of you taking insulin I would think.

I just lost my lousy health insurance & the biggest loss will be the test strips,I've only had to pay $10 month, no way can I afford $100+ for those strips-any idea at all on how to get them cheaper??? Thanks!

Take care everyone,Buttons
