[QUOTE="Alisonjane10, post: 875424, member: 160262"] Hi folks, I'm not impressed with the lancing device that came as part of my prescribed testing kit. I also have a Codefree meter which I keep in the car, & the lancing device in that particular kit is even worse. Like many others who tests regularly, I'm prone to sore, bruised fingertips, even when following a safe common-sense procedure for collecting capillary blood. I alternate fingers, don't test on the pads, use the lowest lancet setting, change the lance every time...in fact I've implemented all of the advice received from forum members regarding testing practice. Annoyingly, I'm losing sensation in some fingertips, & I'm tired of having sore bruised fingers. So, can anyone recommend an uncomplicated lancing device which is gentle & has several depth settings. I'm sure there must be a device out there that is gentle & not ridiculously expensive. All advice gratefully received. Alison. X [/QUOTE]
