Can I use B-D lancets with this device?

Try testing 2 to 3 hrs after you eat. After a couple of weeks you'll know what numbers are good and what food to eat and portion size that's good for you.

No, I use it to put the caps back on my lancets for my blood sugar levels. I'm a diabetic!

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 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.

I have no idea. It seems to me that lancets are typically pretty generic but I can't say that they are unuiversally interchangeable. You might want to check with the manufacturer or vendor.

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

I have the B version and it works fine. The BVx lists this also as an accessory. I do not see any difference in the tube mount, so yes, it should work the same

I have a one touch ultra 2 and it works with those lancets I think they are the same but not 100% sure

I use the Accu-Check Multiclix, Fast easy to use adjustable to skin depth, and doesn't seem to hurt as much a s a few others. Also each lancet can be used several times, though not recommended.

My wife is using the Nova Sureflex which was bundled with the Nova Max Plus kit. I had trouble finding the Nova 33g lancets so I contacted Nova. They informed me that the BD Ultrafine 33g lancets will work with the Nova Sureflex and are probably easier to find at a retail drug store. I ordered the BD Ultrafine 33g lancets from Amazon, received them today, and tested one in the Sureflex. It worked perfectly.

Short answer: Buy more test strips and lancets right away. It came with 10 test strips and a lancet device that has worked very well for me. The lancets in the device can and should be swapped out. It comes with a very small number that won't get you far--I think 10. You need a new test strip each time and the instructions say to change your lancet every time also (the disposable/replaceble needle inside). I don't do that and I haven't met anyone who does but it is what they recommend. I try to change out my lancet after maybe... 20 or so pokes (?) and I NEVER let anyone else use my lancet. That's common sense. But I wouldn't suggest other people defy their instructions and the instructions DO say to change it every single time which I did for a while before I became lazy and irresponsible. I guess I can't sue them if I get an infection.

One brand of lancet that does NOT work with this lancing device would be B-d Ultra-Fine II Lancets (by Becton-Dickinson). Those have a circular collar designed to help pull the used lancet out of the socket in the lancing device. However, in this "Easy-Touch" lancing device, those collars cause the lancet to get stuck in the removable tip, so the spent lancet is not in the socket. I have to use a toothpick through the hole in the top of the unscrewed tip to push the used lancet out. Very annoying.

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

All Lancets need a lancing device... unless you want to manually stick yourself...I've used several different devices and they all seem to work... I've not used this one, but it's made by OneTouch so I would assume it will work...

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/

I'm sorry that I do not know the names of the lancets. I consider the lancets to be either "plain" or "specific to a certain device." This one uses the plain lancets. I THINK the Softclix ones are also "plain."

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".
