I can never find one tat I like so I am very excited to hear what others have to say-for something that I use so many times a day, I think its time to fall in love again...with a new finger pricker!

I've tried that one, and I didn't like it. I think I might have tough old fingers, and I end up using the highest setting and squeezing to death.

I do'nt use one. I like to do it myself and it is one less thing to carry around.

The only lancet device I know of that can be bought seperately is the BD. In fact, its the only one I've ever used that isn't included free with a tester. It's my favourite by far. It is very effective, virtually painless, has a smooth release, and the senstion is unlike any other I have used. It almost feels like it has a shock absorber, so the impact feels cushioned rather than that nasty "whack" sensation from so many other lancers.

It's big and white, so it doesn't get lost easily. It takes 2 hands to set the depth (which means it does not accidentally get reset to "out the other side of your finger" depth), it takes any of the normal lancets. It costs about $10. The top screws off to replace lancets which means there are no little clips to break. A great design in my opinion.

When I need to carry a shorter lancer I reluctantly use the newer OneTouch Ultra lancer (about 2-1/2 inches). It's the best I've found of the various short devices.

I think I used to have one of the BD ones. I can't remember what I thought of it though. Thanks for the suggestion.

Pelikan Sun - The super duper electronic Lancet device.
This is so painless, it hurts. I thought all lancet devices would hurt, this does not.
The Pelican Sun from the www.PelikanTechnologies.com Website is the ONLY Electronic lancet device and is so painless, you have to see the blood to believe.
