Does anyone know if the lancets that come with freestyle lancing devices fit in this device? I have about a million of those lancets to use up!

Freestyle lancets will not fit. Accu-Chek is flat and Freestyle is round. I suggest you go ahead and switch - give away the freestyle and use Accu-Chek. I hesitated at first, but I'm very glad I made the switch. Accu-Chek is much better.

I also have a million and no they do not but this lancing device is so much better.

No, this device uses only the Accu-Chek lancets, they are thinner than the freestyle lancets.

The size I use are the Freestyle 28 gauge. The packaging says nothing about micro-fine. You may wish to check Freestyle's website to see what they offer in terms of lancet sizes or to see if 28 gauge falls into the micro-fine category. If your doctor was the one offering advice on lancets, you may also wish to see what additional information he/she can offer. For me, the 28 gauge has been pretty good and easy to use.

Unless I'm quite mistaken, all such lancets are a standard size. Other responses in the item page for onetouch ultra soft lancets say "yes".

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...

Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15. Comes with just 10 strips <buy these for extra!>, and has a bag of lancets but you'll need more after a few days.Go with 33gauge for comfort.Works on tough skin, too by adjusting the depth setting on the lancer from 1-5. I began with 1 and went up until it pricked my finger with the 3. Highly suggest the True2Go. Takes the littlest dtop of blood, very gentle on the skin once you find the depth dial you need. I use 3, my bf needed a 5 <he tested the unit for me>, holds many readings in memory, too! Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15.

Dear Customer It use to be OK to Test on other side besides Fingers But most manufacturer have Decided not to Promote after New research , The result will not be accurate when the side testing is done. That is one of the reason that New meter do not come with Lancet Device with Clear Cap for side testing from Any manufacturer .Thank you

The Softclix Plus lancet device attached to the Accu-Chek meter does take the Softclix lancets; that is how they are being used here. Note: The lancet device can be easily removed from the meter. I use a different meter but still use the old Softclix lancets and device.

The deal I bought had the machine, a sample of 10 strips and the Delica lancet. Strips cost something like $25.. to 30.00 here at Target stores(for 100). The lancet looks very small and cheap, but I really love it as it makes a tiny hole that never gets sore. You can test on arms/legs/fingers. The lancet costs about $11.00 if you need a new one someday.I like this set! Peggy

Hello Martha, The Lancets fit into the blood extraction tool, they are the sharp point that is replaced periodically for protection against infection. You will need a Blood Glucose meter, Test strips (disposable) and Lancets (sharp pointy end for drawing blood). I suggest looking at the cost of the test strips comparatively because some are more expensive than others and that is what you will continue to purchase. If you test 3 times a day (or more in the beginning) that can be $3 to $1.50 per day depending on the strips. I like the contour USB because is creates reports and is cheaper on test strips.

The kit I received had a lancet gun and I believe 2 lancet barrels which contain 6 lancets per barrel(total of 12 lancets). contact accu chek If you did not received the lancet device or the lancet device.

To my knowledge there are no "Drums" for lancets and I have used the Accu-chek Aviva meter for many years. What I have is a device that resembles an oversized ballpoint pen which contains a replaceable lancet, and I do not feel it necessary to replace the lancet every time I use it. This device should have come with the meter itself. You might check with your local pharmacy to see if they can help you.

This kit gives you a small packet of lancets and about 10 test strips. It also comes with the lancing pen/device along with the tester and a couple of other things that may or may not be useful.

I'm sorry I can't help you here. I use ComforTouch 30g Lancets in my device.

The case and the lancing device are kind of cheesy. Both don't seem to go with the sleek gluco-meter device. I've got an Accuchek Nano, too. The lancing device is light years better.

I tested it with Arriva and ReliOn lancets, though I think any standard lancets should work just fine. As for sizes, you'll want no thicker than 30 gauge (32 gauge is thinner, but can bend easier while 26 gauge is thicker and more painful). For getting less painful pricks, aim for the sides of the fingertips and not the front of the fingertip itself (that is where all the nerve endings are). Some devices support alternate site testing, but your most accurate reading will always come from the blood in your fingertips first.

Leslie J. says it takes the Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets. I find it helpful to stick the tiny lancet metal lancing stick into the flattened plastic top which was twisted off if you don't have a sharps container.
