This is a new lancing device that I saw advertised in Balance Magazine from Diabetes UK.
I liked the way it was described and even though I did not qualify for a free trial of the device, I sent an e-mail asking if they would consider sending me one as my present lancer was old and used much thicker lancets.
It arrived this morning and I used it straight away for a BG test and I can honestly say this almost a totally painless way to extract enough blood for my test strip.
I have no idea if it is available to buy in a chemists yet, but if you are looking to replace your existing lancer or are just about to start with finger pricking, I can recommend the new OneTouch Comfort and the ultra thin 0.2mm/33G lancets it uses [PIP Code 344-8909].
