Would this help for a blood test? My son has a fear of needles and also says that blood draws really hurt. Thank you.

Yes, this would help. The little bee vibrates and helps to numb the area that will get the test. It is a very good purchase.

yes, it should help. it is supposed to scramble pain signals to the brain. it is personally recommended by my 4 year old granddaughter! she did get a shot last week IM where she experienced some discomfort, but it still helped.

I'm not certain but my guess would be that a blood test is much more accurate. This was just for home use for teenagers :)

I had similar concerns. Organ makes needles as original equipment and replacements. They are OK to use. The larger consideration is to change needles as per factory recommendation. The tip gets rounded after hours of sewing.

Since it does cause stinging at times on application...I would say no. Best bet is ask your Pediatrician. Or call the company Upsher- Smith Labratories,Inc

I don't know about varicose veins. I know this helps with stretch marks and shrinking the skin. If you want to know, please go to the actual website of ItWorks and call or email to get an answer from a seller/employee. Also I'd advise buying from the website and not on Amazon, many people have complained the product they purchased was out of date. These products last for a few years so I'd rather spend the extra dollars knowing I'm getting a product that's not expired!

I can not answer that. I gave this to my grandson and he has not tried blood. Sorry. However I can tell you that they have enjoyed looking at other things such as pond water and they could see stuff in it.

You do not have to apply too much pressure. The needles are fine and the punctures are very small. You will probably not bleed.

Yeah you might want to send it back or call the provider. If it's not defective it may just be the needle.

The meter only reads whole blood collected after you stick yourself with a "Microlet" which draws the blood. Then a test strip is placed in the meter and the end of the strip touches the drop of blood on you finger. The meter tells you when the strip has collected sufficient blood to test. The meter then shows you what your blood glucose level is. Thus, the only pain is felt when the poke yourself with a gadget that shoots the Microlet into your finger. You rarely feel anything and the blood flow stops immediately. The Bayer Contour kit comes with everything you need to take and record a glucose reading. Good luck!

One more thing that really helped me was to get my hand/fingers very warm in very warm water. Brings the blood drop out MUCH easier. Also read somewhere not to squeeze as that can bring up other fluids that can mess up results.

Yes, it does. I got another blood tester. It's TrueResult. I like it better. I don't have to insert a code of strips every time starting new strips because it is code less.Natalya

Meter gives a quick reading with a small blood sample. It is the lancet you use that causes pain.

I used it on my mother, she was then taken to the hospital after finding her blood pressure high and was higher at the hospital. I guess the best way would be to bring it to a hospital and see if anyone would be willing to help you there as you cannot expect all machines to work exactly the same even if it is a built series I believe it is accurate but until you can have it verified with hospital grade instruments don't trust it completely mine came great doesn't mean I trust it blindly, anyway I do hope my rather vague answer was somewhat helpful

All my tests worked great!! I would recommend them to everyone!! Even my friend liked them. Since they are just the strips, it's very possible for someone to get it wet in the wrong place, not lay it flat, look at the results too soon, not test correctly, etc. If you feel these tests aren't working, then go buy ones at the store. I was just trying to help. Regardless of your profession, everyone can make mistakes and not be aware of it.

a medical person might be qualified to answer that, but not I. I would say if you are a thick-skinned person go deeper. I am lean and muscular with little fat, so I use the short needles.

My meter worked fine for the GU and uric acid with the old style test strips which have the blood intake at the end of the strip. However, when I used it with the new style test strips with the blood intake on the side it seems to be reading low for the uric acid test. I have not tried the new GU strips. I have tried to get the control solutions to verify the meter but no one seems to sell them. You should not need the control solutions to get readings. You do need to put the correct chip in the chip slot for what ever test you are making. If you are not getting any readings you should probably return the meter. I am also concerned it may not work correctly with the new style strips. Sincerely, Frank Huling
