I wanted to ask- for blood suger measurment do I need only this device and strips? What is the role of lancets? Could anybody please explain?

They are used to pierce through your skin for blood drop. It is relatively easy to use this Lancets

Also included in the kit should be the lancing device, into which you insert the lancet. This pierces the skin. A small drop of blood comes to the skin and then you gently touch it with the test strip, which you have already placed in the strip meter. Your count will show up on the strip meter within a few seconds.

The meter itself is about 3-1/4"x1-3/4"x3/8". The case with the meter, the lance, the test strips, and the accessories is about 3-1/2"x5-3/4". The meter's view screen is about 1-1/2"x1-7/8". It is the most easily readable readout I have yet seen in a blood glucose meter. One caveat: Because the test strips are oriented 90 degrees to what you generally expect, it is tempting to drag the meter across your skin into the blood sample. DO NOT DO THIS! It will result in unreliable, and always very high, readings. Instead just touch the horizontal line in the test strip to the blood droplet without touching your skin, and then it will give reliable readings.

Yes. It comes with the lancing device for obtaining the blood specimen and full instruction booklet. I don't recall for sure if it also comes with test strips but I think some were included. I find ebay a good place to find discounted test strips.

If you purchase only the meter, you will also need test strips and lancets for sticking your fingers. Control solution is also recommended; you use that to ensure the test strips are giving an accurate reading.

You can use the same lancet. The needles that go into the lancet are disposable. The lancet can be used for as long as it lasts (its spring loaded, so depending on how often you use it will depend on how long it lasts). Good Luck :)

Mine came with a lancing device and 10 lancets. The lancets are pretty cheap no matter where you buy them, but I stuck with the lancing device and lancets I already was using.

The One Touch Ultra MINI is a diabetic meter that uses One Touch Ultra strips. These are lancets to be input into a lancing device. Which lancing device are you using? These are a universal fit but can only be used in a universal fit lancing device. Hope this helps!

No test strips are included or the lancet pen or lancets! Just a meter, batteries and a case.

They have a kit you can buy that includes meter, 25 strips and the blood prick. Just look and you will find one for about $10 that's all you need.

The strips are placed in a TRU TEST meter--about $10. A tiny drop of blood is taken by the part of the strip outside the meter and the side with bars goes into the meter. You will need lancets--33 gauge recommended. The lancet is pushed into the FINGERTIP, not the main part of the finger. It is recommended you purchase a spring loaded device to snap the lancet into the skin--less pain and less squeamishness from the user--it is not easy to stab oneself!

It depends on what lancing device you use. My last One Touch meter came without a lancing device. In general, lancets are pretty generic. I personally like the one-touch branded lancets (LifeScan) because the needle protector is like a cup or cap that fits right over the lancing needle, instead of a disk like some of the lancets. (If you order test strips some sellers will give you lancing needles, but they always seem to be the ones with the disks on the needle.) I remove the old lancet and put the new lancet in the device and remove the cap and put it on the old lancet and dispose of it in my sharps container. (I only change twice a week or if I let someone else use my lancing device.) I don't cap the lancet while it's in the device. I don't feel changing it every poke is worth the time and only a couple of times a year does my finger hurt and it's more likely where on the finger I poke it or if I didn't clean my finger enough first, rather than infections on the needle (except if I poke a not-well-cleaned finger and the next one transmits from the dirty finger to an otherwise clean finger and infects it.

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/

This Meter takes a certain Test strip. They list them here on Amazon . The Lancets you can see here http://www.amazon.com/Accu-Chek-Softclix-Lancets-100-ea/dp/B0000532GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389834786&sr=8-1&keywords=accu+chek+compact+Lancets....they are cheap and work well. I stopped using this Meter due to the Test strips being hard to find and expensive, plus the dates run out and you can not use them in the Meter anymore. You can buy a box and before you can use them all they expire and the Meter will not allow use of them. Just so you know.

No, just lancets. However, if you look around Amazon, some vendors sell a kit (sort of). Some companies sell the One Touch meter, the One Touch Delica devise, a few lancets and maybe 10 test strips. That's how I started with OneTouch. I got everything I needed to get started really inexpensively. Look around Amazon. You may find a good deal also.

Zoe, sorry for the delay in responding I had to find my booklet as I could not remember. This monitor also only needs .3 micro-liters of blood sample. Really like this unit but the test strips are pricey if you have to test a lot. Approximately 50.00 for 50 strips. The kit comes with 25 test strips, so you will need to order additional strips soon. Some people have tried different strips for the unit that register different from the original strips, but I have not tested or tried this.

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.
