One Touch Comfort discontinuation - recommend me a lancing device.

[ill3st]

As the title suggests, the One Touch lancet discontinuation has hit me finally. Onto my last box, had the device for years, was the best one for me by far. Pigeon-holed onto the Delica device, which is sore, even on 1, the Comfort was always kept on 1 for me & worked grand.

Had looked into the Multiclix/Fastclix setup, unless folk have other good suggestions to try?

Thanks.

I use both of those and have had no problems with either.

I have a fastclix and a softclix, they both seem pretty good and not too painful to use.

Thanks for the replies folks. Looks like that might be the way forward!

Fastclix!

One last suggestion if money is no object, Genteel lancing device.

softclix

accu-check softclix is the best: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roche-Accu...633&sr=8-4-fkmr0&keywords=accu-check+softclix

It's funny, in Czech Republic you can get one for 8 pounds.

with fastclix you cannot use one lancet more times. So not for me. But if you have it for free, the lancets are the same thickness as in softclix.

Of course you can use the lancet multiple times, there's six lancets in the drum and you dial in a new lancet when you want.

I dial a new lancet in every week when I start a new pot of strips.

So you have 6 shots (six measurements) and after that end. But you have possibility to call for others. I have not. I have to buy other drum.

I buy them buy the box for my Multiclix and there are twenty drums of lancets in it, which are about $20.00.

The Fastclix and Softclix lancets come in boxes of four drums and cost around $12.00.

I do not think my pharmacy would open lancet boxes to sell one drum at a time though.

I only want to say, that I use one lancet for a month, so 12 lancets for a year. With drum I would use 2 drums a day. Because you cannot use one drum 2 times.

You do realise that there are six lancets that you can use multiple times in a drum...

Edited to make it clearer.

No, I have it and the lancet in my drum after using is holed up and cannot be used any more. But I will try again... May be I just missed something. Du you have this? And you can use one drum for more than 6 shots? https://www.benu.cz/lanceta-accu-ch...ty-pro-odber-kapilarni-krve-v-bubincich-po-6k

@rom35 one six (6) lancet drum lasts me for three hundred (300) strips.

You turn the button on the end of the device to change the lancet, it tells you how to do it in the leaflet that comes with it.
