Freestyle Lancets 100 pack with Free Gentle Touch MINI Lancet device

I like these pins because they don't hurt so much when you use them. They are sharp and easy to use.

My pen broke and I couldn't test my glucose. I called my insurance company and they said they don't provide just the pen and said I needed an entire new kit. Then the doctor put in a prescription for a new kit for me, and the insurance said they wouldn't pay for it because they had provided a kit to me last year. This was after three months of running around between doctor and insurance. Finally, I looked on the internet and found I could buy just what I needed separately. This device is different than the one that came with the kit and seems better made. It works with the lancets I already have. Purchasing this on Amazon was the best price available.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. When my order arrived I was pleased to find everything was there - including the little injector device. The box of 100 lancets was factory sealed, and the included injector/lancing device is good to have in case my current one fails.Pleased with the purchase.

I found the one that comes with the Freestyle Lite to be very flimsy and inconsistent. I switched to a different brand and found that the needles of the other brand were painful compared to the Freestyle and did not always even produce an adequate amount of blood to test or would leave a stream of blood. So, I gave up and tried this one. The Freestyle Lite 28 guage lancets fit in it perfectly and with this unit, it feels like a small mosquito bite. Also, it provides a very consistent amount of blood. My old ones fell apart after a month each time and I could not get a consistent amount while trying to hold unit together and push trigger. This one has a rigid body and does not have that problem. The only issue that I had was it took me a few minutes to find the trigger. The trigger is a clear plastic button that does not extend about surface. Just look for the clear round button near the end. Also, the cocking end looks a bit like the needle end. You twist the gray side to remove cap and put in lancet then replace cap and pull the blue end to cock.

I'm new to testing and as you know the new kit only comes with 10 lancets. These are as advertised and I really like the free lancing device a whole lot more than the one that came with the meter kit.

Missing Free Gentle Touch MINI Lancet device included, as advertised and paid for.

Great value

Seems to work with Freestyle, But was not Freestyle Lancets as advertised. This looks like a bait and switch.
