Is there any reason why I can't use these lancets if i use a Nova Max meter?

Lancets are independent of the meter itself, they just need to fit in your lancet pen. I have used several different lancets and found these to be most painless. I've used them in many different lancet pens and never had any trouble. Hope this helps!

I believe only lancets in the "One Touch" family will work in One Touch devices.

Yes, you can use the same strips. I started using the Nova Max Plus meter recently. You can get the meter for free and buy the strips online from American diabetes wholesale supply. The strips are about 70% cheaper than One Touch, and you can check your Ketone with the same meter. Just buy the Ketone Test Strips.

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.

This meter is no longer supported so it may be hard to get the correct test strip. I see on Amazon (currently) that you can purchase Contour test strips, which should work. I would buy the Contour NEXT meter to be used with Contour Next strips. The NEXT model has worked out many of the links in the earlier model. I am new to this so it was a little confusing. Even the control test solution is meter-specific. Just buy CONTOUR NEXT and call it a day. Or, buy the old model and trade it in with Bayer.

I use one lancet to draw a blood drop big enough to supply enough blood to run the ketone test and the glucose test as well. You may, or may not, run both tests depending on what information you're looking for. Certainly you always throw out the lancet after its use. Not to say you can't use it to do a second prick right then, like if the first one didn't get enough blood or something. Just don't use the same lancet again later. Take it out and throw it away. That's why there are so many in the box. They're definitely a disposable item to prevent infection from a needle with old decaying blood on it.

The lancets are only as good as your lancet device that you use with the lancets. My lancet device has a rotating head where you can select settings 1 - 5 for the depth of the stick. If your test strips for Cholesterol are similar to the type of strips used for blood glucose, then you should be just fine.

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.

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

If your talking about the meter, yes it comes with Lancets and a few strips. But the strips are cheap.

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/

They seem to be pretty standard, but I couldn't say for sure if they will work with the "Nova Max Plus", because I am not familiar with it. You might check the return policy and if you open the box and see that they won't fit, you might be able to return them. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

when we ordered this, the lancets were from Global. The guage of those is 28.

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.

I don't know. It's best to buy the ones designed for your meter. Next time you are at your doctor, ask him for a free meter.

Regular lancets and micro lancets will fit this device. They are widely available.

I believe these would work with nearly any lancing device. What would be an issue is the size of the droplette of blood required by the meter. Such a small gauge lancet produces a small droplette and that must be adequate for the meter used. I happen to use Freestyle Lite and these lancets work perfectly with that system. I hope this helps.
