My lancing pen top has broken so I need to get just a new lancer. I have loads of test strips and the needles so don't really want to get a completely new kit but can't find the make or type of lancer. One touch but it's fairly old. Anyone know where I get one ....how much or what is best? Thank you
 
Hi mumdad43

If you phone the company they should be able to supply you with a new lancing device. Boots also sell them. I would try the company first as they may supply one free of charge

Hope you get things sorted
 
I had a quick look on ebay, where the cheapest seems to be £10.50, so they are still available. I have bought lancing devices on ebay before, because I didn't like the one that came with my new meter. Do you have a spare one to use in the meantime ? I've had a couple of spare ones safely put away for several years because I have arthritis in my hands but the ones I've bought suit me.

Hi,

I just googled "one touch." & got a "one touch Delicia?" Lancing device. The usual online market places seem to retail the device only?

Give the supplier a call. They will send you a replacement pretty quickly
 
The reason I bought mine was because the manufacturer had ceased production, but I discovered there was still stock out there.
 
You can buy a Accu Chek Fastclix lancing device and lancets from most pharmacy's, you can also get them from Amazon UK.
