I'm not T2 - actually Wheat Belly so no worries, T2 friends who follow WB are no not T2 - using to modify Keto... I use the ones here for it as the others suggest - hope you are well!

The brand of lancets is less important than the size of the needle on the lancets. The higher the number, the finer the needle. I personally need a #26 or #28 needle in order to get enough blood. Others may do fine with a #30 which seems to be what is shipped with new meters.

Hey there Ralph, sorry to hear your diagnoses. It can be a new normal and life changer that's for sure. The Percision Xtra kit should have had some starter lancets included these would be the "best" ones to use as they are the ones that the manufacturer suggests you use. There are probably some other brands that can fit into the lancet holder, but I'd suggest you stay with the type that came with your Blood sugar testing kit. Stay healthy. :-)

The lancets are what you stick your finger with. You can use whatever brand you want. If you are talking about the test strips, you need to buy the ones made specifically for your tester.

You can buy a Relion Glucometer that has a lancet device very cheaply. The lancets for Relion are the cheapest I have found. They work with many meters also. I use mine with a Bayer Contour and Contour Next. I just switched to a new meter-Freestyle freedom lite. Because of my insurance. It uses less blood. The lancets from Relion work with this device as well.

I use the Accu-Check Multiclix, Fast easy to use adjustable to skin depth, and doesn't seem to hurt as much a s a few others. Also each lancet can be used several times, though not recommended.

I use FreeStyle lancets by Abbott. 100 per box, 28 gauge. I use setting 3 for thick skin on my fingers and 1 or 2 for the rest.

I didn't know there was a choice with the Nonin Go2. I am more interested in accuracy. The Nonin Go2 is reliable and compares with the health provider's equipment readings.

There is only one and I highly suggest you get a lancet from a friend who is a diabetic cause the one that comes with it is crap.

I don't know. I'm new to diabetes and have the True brand lancet and tester so it works with them. They are a greater guage than I am able to purchase with my prescription at the pharmacy. My sister told me about them so I've been using them and they have the cap which is nice for disposal. But I'm not familiar with any other equipment. Sorry

Check with your health care professional, but lancets are paired with lancing devices. In theory, you can use any lancet to get a sample, but again please check with your health care professional. I did find some very informative articles which go into the many facets of getting a sample...here they are...http://www.healthline.com/health/type-2-diabetes/blood-glucose-monitoring#1https://nfb.org/finger-stickinghttps://www.bd.com/us/diabetes/blood-glucose-monitoring/how-to-test/

You get the "Contour next EZ", a cheap case, a Microlet2 and about 10 lancets. Probably included a few test strips, but, I don't remember. At any rate you should but additional test strips. These are "Contour Next" strips. I think the device is a little more accurate than my previous one. The strips are also slightly more expensive. Good Luck

The package comes with everything; meter, lancet device, few lancets. You need to buy the ultra2 test strips and also your additional lancets, that are available at Amazon.com.

Hi, If you use only two insuline pens there might be room for the lancet pen (I usually carry three insulin pens when I travel), but there is no room for the glucometer.

I use the Polar Heart rate sensor and the runtastic Cadence sensor. They are both reasonably reliable and would recommend them

In addition to the meter you get a sample pack of 20 test strips, 4 or 5 lancets, and a pen to load the lancets into. I never use it. I just stick myself with the lancet. You do not get the testing liquid to see if your meter reading is accurate but if you want it your pharmacist can get it for you. If you have diabetes you can ask your doctor for a meter and he'll give you one at no charge. I don't know where the seller gets his meters from but the box often says it is not intended to be sold. Before buying, You should see if can get one from your doc. Take care of yourself.

Hi Anthony. I looked at those lancets and I'd have to say that I think they would work just fine. The lancet holder is fairly universal with the exception of like those "flat" lancets. I'm telling you, I'm very very pleased with this lancet device. Take care...

In my opinion, this is the best BG monitor available. It is expensive, especially if you test many times a day. I test 4 times a day because I am on insulin. That means I change the drum of strips every 5 days. Seems it always runs out when its time to eat. But it beats inserting a strip every time I test. I wouldn't have anything else.

It's just a small needle prick of a finger. I have no soreness afterwards. You can adjust the lancet to the desired depth when it does the puncture. The meter is easy to use and has your reading in about 5 seconds. You do need to purchase the Bayer test strips and lancet needles, but they are very reasonably priced on Amazon. They are VERY expensive if you go to the regular drug store. The meter will keep an internal record of your glucose levels, but I keep a spreadsheet so I can keep track and my doctor really likes that. Good luck.

Lancets are generally a single use product. It comes with additional lancets, and when you run out, just go get some more. They are very inexpensive. Just a caveat, many people have written that some of the strips are defective and show an error message. I have found that pulling them out gently and re-inserting it until you see the indicator will fix this problem. It is not the strips that are defective, but the strips' electrical component needs to make contact with the sensor within the machine. That said, be sure to monitor your ketone level at the same time, preferably before breakfast. Goal is to be consistently above 0.5 to be in nutritional ketosis. Don't give up on the diet, it really does work. It took me 4 weeks to become keto adapted, and I found out the culprit was too much cheese and nuts.
