Lancets

[Dadof5]

Does any on e have a link to where I can buy some lancets similar to the ones that come in the Monitor my Health kit.

I did ask them to send out some but so far no reply to my email.

Cheers

I have got lots of spare lancets. If you're happy to PM me your address I'll be happy to put some in the post for you.

I see Seasie Susie has very kindly offered help.

I’m answering the question anyway in case other people come searching for an answer in the future. I buy mine from eBay, from a seller who does packets of ten rather than having to buy a full box. The ones they sell are actually a bit bigger, but that suits me perfectly as I sometimes have problems getting enough blood (though it’s been easier since I realised that, rather than soaking hands in warm water, doing so in hot water helps enormously).

any chance of the sellers name?

just for future reference.

Thanks

I buy them from ebay.co.uk/str/ukgoodhealth...

They actually sell a variety of different sizes, not just the large ones I’ve bought.

I didn’t like to put their name in my first reply in case it seemed as if I was trying to sell something. I have no connection with the seller other than as a buyer.

I think the orange ones give biggest cut

The orange are the ones I’ve bought a few times. Same seller, too!

Thanks I've added them to my ebay watch list for future reference.

Just received an email from Monitor my Health. Apparently they had a technical error and missed my email asking for another test kit to be sent out.

One is now in the post and thanks to them, SeasideSusie and the rest of your help on here I should have enough lancet’s to complete my test next Monday.

I used diabetic tester automatic finger pricker. It was a disaster as too small. Rook 6holes to get the bottle full. The monitor my health ones have bigger lances but only work once and in trying to work out to use them I used up the 3 they sent!!

Did not know they had a video -just followed the booklet.

Can laugh now
