Are all brands of lancets for diabetic lancing devices for glucose testing the same?

I live in the small town pharmacy and we do not carry all brands of lancets (Medis Ensenada) that came with my meter. Can I use Relion brand lancets or any other? They are not all equal, and they will not all fit in the various units. Ask your pharmacist if they work. The lancets are made to specific "good" fit. Take pen to the pharmacy and see if he can help. For example, I use a "house" of lancets with an Accu-Check "beautiful". The lancets are a bit longer, I must say "Power" knob to adjust and very accurate, but it works well othersie. Much cheaper. too! The small piece of plastic that holds the needle varies (some are round, some square, some are thin), so suits a different type of Lancet. If it fits into the pen to go ahead and use them. See also a very fine needles fit into the pen, the finer the less they hurt. Ask your pharmacist if you have a pen at a reasonable lancets (or most comfortable ones) have to buy. Not all lancets fit all lancing devices, but there are some brands that universal access Ask the pharmacist. If they do not, it will be a new lancing very cheap. Get one that has the type of lancet used pharmacy. Hi Kal E, the only purpose of lancing is a fair amount of blood test strips are valid as irrelevant in view of the use of the device you want. The only concern you might have, such as painful it is, but all lancet devices (to my knowledge) with different settings to give you the finger more comfortable can be adjusted with the required volume of blood. Who did you buy your tapes or Medisense or another broker will send you a free unit and the amount of lancets for.The why is simple, they do not want to lose your business when it comes to buying the test strip, which is where they earn their money.
