Reddit reviews Fastclix Accu-Chek Fastclix Lancing Device Kit, Black

This one was my first and I've had maybe 3 or 4 since. Ive been actually meaning to buy another one since I'm out of lancets (believe it or not)

It's not only SUPER easy to change needles, it's as simple as popping in a new barrel when you have used all of the needles. Literally it's just was and convenient to use. 10/10 would recommend.

Edit: they look a bit cheaper on [amazon](Fastclix Accu-Chek Fastclix Lancing Device Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085KSN56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M6QzybDDEZY6V) as well

I get my GlucoCard Vital test strips, Meter and Lancing device va Amazon and save significantrly even over insurance.

I don't know what kind of lancing device you use, but there was only one lancing device I've ever used that is by far the most painless. I have mine on a zero. It could also have something to do with the needle size. Some lancets are much bigger than others and it certainly does not make the process any easier. This fastclix accuchek is the one that I use. It was given to me by the diabetes doctor but diabetes runs in my family so I've had a wide variety of stabbers to experience and the one they gave me is by far the best. There is no pull back spring action too.

Just wanted to agree with a few of the others already in here; the Fastclix is awesome. I've used a lot of lancet devices and this is by far the least painful. (The Softclix is the old version of this; they don't make it anymore.) The downside is that you've got to change the drums out a little more frequently than you would with a traditional lancet. (Which I would change out practically never.) If you don't change the fast clix out after every 3 or 4 times (per needle in the drum; there are 6 per drum, so that's like 18 stabs.) , it gets dull fast and starts to hurt a little.

I've even stabbed my wife with it and she was surprised, she clicked it, then said, 'Wait, did it even stab me??!' and then squeezed her finger and got blood.

> I have not home tested myself since the first time because my finger still hurts. I am guessing this is not normal if people are testing themselves multiple times per day.

I tried a couple of lancing systems and so far the one I like the best is the Accu-Chek Fastclix Lancing Device Kit. Whichever one you use, be sure you experiment with the setting so that it delivers the minimal amount of a prick to be able to draw blood with some massaging. Every now and then I'll hit a finger in the wrong way and it will end up sore for a day or so, but usually I can barely feel where I drew blood 15 minutes after having done so.

You can also get the test strips that test for ketones and sugar in the urine. My son was initially diagnosed as Type 1 because there was so much sugar in his urine, it was off the chart. He didn't have any ketones (thankfully).

Also, finger poke tests with the kits that you buy are less painful, typically, than the ones at the doctor. My son's doc uses what I like to call the "harpoon" to prick his finger unless we bring in our lancet. The one my son uses is really not very painful, it is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Fastclix-Accu-Chek-Lancing-Device-Kit/dp/B0085KSN56. So, buy a meter that is cheap and takes really cheap strips, then if you are diabetic, buy yourself a nice lancet :)
