- I have to apply heavy pressure to get puncture. Mostly i do not bleed perhaps because the needles are so fat and so many - any suggestions?

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

I always get a strip out, prick my finger with the lancet, then stick the strip in the meter. Just be sure to wait until the meter asks for a blood sample.

I tried, but needed to get a bigger needle .....................I don't like doing punch needle. A craft I bought lots of stuff for doing it and now it'll sit in a box.

Yep! The key is to make sure you use the glycerine lubricant and the short needle. Longer bike needles can puncture the lining.

Hi good question! I actually have 3 differnet needle lengths and yes you can. I would use the smal needle though and don't press to hard.

I would definitely be upset and contact the seller as well!! I don't know if the needles would become dull but I would be concerned that some had become bent. I bent needle can cause damage to your skin. I'm hoping it came in the sterilized package?

I've used slime tubes for months after the first puncture. In fact, my kids bikes (24" mtn bikes) have had more punctures than I could count before having to replace the tube. The key is to always have an extra tube with you so you don't get stuck.

You should see the word, "PUSH" on the front and back of the cover. If you squeeze with your thumb and first finger slightly below those areas, the cover should give enough to be able to pull it off while continuing to squeeze. Might have to wiggle it a little while pulling but watch that your fingers don't get caught on the needles. Hope that helps.

You don't have the needle in correctly.you have to push it in an turn it to lock in place.

No needles with this product. Most states would require a prescription for that. I used them for oral liquid medication.

It took me 180 pumps to get it to the 10-11 PSI as instructed. The needle didnt start moving until around 130 or so pumps when it became harder to pump. the first 100 pumps i did sitting down with one hand ( 8 min total to pump)

Hello, and a Happy New Year to you! May I take the time to suggest that you see your doctor first. I am a senior now, and sometimes it just not easy. So I've taken upon myself this product get in gear with. I did do some homework on this product, and it seems to keep in the easy lane... See your doctor first... Thank you...WOOD

Same thing Happened to me. I even went so far as to send back and got another. But, this didn't resolve the issue because the second one did the same thing. Only way I have gotten them to work is puncture really fast. Its a poor design. Good luck

i would say everyones different - im on blood thinners andmy blood is very hard to draw - even when professionals do it but i have gotten sufficent blood each time with these but these are the needles not a drawing strip -these poke the hole for you to produce blood for a sample

Yes, you puncture it. Be careful if it is warm, though, and use a screwdriver and hammer or something akin to that. Hold it away as it may be under pressure.

I would suggest maybe getting a strong pair of reading glasses or a magnifying glass to help you thread your needle. As for thread you can use any thread. I will admit the shorter spools work better but the regular work just fine.
