Hi everyone!
Well, time to face the end of another era for me. <grin> The nice lancing
device that came with my FreeStyle meter is getting old. I have been using
BD ultrafine stabbers and BD is one of the many companies that have been
getting out of various parts of the diabetes business. 
What I liked about the BD stabbers is that they had a really nice easy cap
to replace, making disposal really simple. It was also nice when I tested
away from home. I'd like to know which ones all of you prefer, both for
getting enough blood and for ease of handling after the fact. Thanks so
much.

I have used many over the years, but I have settled on the Softclicks.

Hi Veronica,

I use OneTouch Delica Lancets. They are also a thinner lancet, and there is a twist-off end into which you can cram the sharp end of the old lancet. I like them very much.

Hi Veronica,
My husband and I also both use the Soft Click lancets.  I have found they
are gentle on my fingers more than all of the others I have ever used.
Warmly, Joy

I'll keep this choice handy, just in case the Softclicks are discontinued!

Sandy, I brought a Delica home from a conference and played with it a bit. I'll have to look at it again to see if I can figure out about where you can jam the lancet because I didn't figure it out initially. Can you take a stab at a further explanation? <grin>
Thanks so much, everyone.

I don?t know if it?s okay or not, but the lancets each have a little end that you twist off to expose the new sharp end. After I?ve ejected the old lancet, I insert the new one in the lance, then twist off its end and put the end of the lance back in place. Then I jam the old lancet into the end I took off the new lancet so that it? fits tightly and just toss it into the trash.

I do. Usually I leave the one I?ve used in the device until the next test, then eject it and throw it away, in the process inserting the new one.

If I'm understanding correctly, this means you always keep a lancet in the device? Thanks so much.

I don?t know if it?s okay or not, but the lancets each have a little end that you twist off to expose the new sharp end. After I?ve ejected the old lancet, I insert the new one in the lance, then twist off its end and put the end of the lance back in place. Then I jam the old lancet into the end I took off the new lancet so that it? fits tightly and just toss it into the trash.

Sandy, I brought a Delica home from a conference and played with it a bit. I'll have to look at it again to see if I can figure out about where you can jam the lancet because I didn't figure it out initially. Can you take a stab at a further explanation? <grin> Thanks so much, everyone.

Hi Veronica,

I use OneTouch Delica Lancets. They are also a thinner lancet, and there is a twist-off end into which you can cram the sharp end of the old lancet. I like them very much.

Hi everyone!
Well, time to face the end of another era for me. <grin> The nice lancing device that came with my FreeStyle meter is getting old. I have been using BD ultrafine stabbers and BD is one of the many companies that have been getting out of various parts of the diabetes business. 
What I liked about the BD stabbers is that they had a really nice easy cap to replace, making disposal really simple. It was also nice when I tested away from home. I'd like to know which ones all of you prefer, both for getting enough blood and for ease of handling after the fact. Thanks so much.

Good Morning:

I, too, use the Soft Click Lancets and have been doing so for years.  I really like the device because it
S smaller than many of the devices and fits better in my meter case.  However, there are a couple of things I do differently.  

Firstly, when I test, I immediately replace that lancet with a clean one so that when I need to test again, I never have to worry about whether or not the lancet is a clean one.  Because there are time?in a low, I need it immediately and if I?m low enough, the less steps I have to remember to do beforehand, the better off I am at the time.

Secondly, when I dispose of my lancets, I toss them into either a Sharps container which immediately locks before tossing it in the trash.  Or, I toss it in an old bottle, like a Clorox bottle.  When it?s full, I take super glue and squeeze it in around the inside of the lid and glue the bottle shut so these things do not become injurious for sanitation workers.  I know they?re supposed to wear special safety gloves, but maybe boot all of them do.  My husband said ours wear those gloves.  Disposal laws, howe3ver, appear to very from state to state.  I know, in the state of Maryland, you can use old bottles as long as they?re closed securely.  

Just like Veronica, I?m lamenting over the loss of VD products.  Their syringes were the perfect design for the count-a-dose.  They were miraculous for me throughout my pregnancy and after.  Now, they?[re out of the syringe business and the count-a-dose is nearly null and void.   Nothing fits them anymore!!  Then there are those wonderful pen needles?VD.  If pharmaceuticals use other needles because they?re cheaper, Oh Crap!!!  Ever have a needle that won?t draw up insulin?  Just happened to me the other night.  Never used to happen with the VD needles.  Bottom line here is, I?m seriously lamenting the loss of our VD friends...

They are made by Accu Chek, and my local pharmacy is able to order both the lancets and the Lansing device. I guess you just have to check with your pharmacist.

Good Morning:

I, too, use the Soft Click Lancets and have been doing so for years.  I really like the device because it S smaller than many of the devices and fits better in my meter case.  However, there are a couple of things I do differently.  

Firstly, when I test, I immediately replace that lancet with a clean one so that when I need to test again, I never have to worry about whether or not the lancet is a clean one.  Because there are time?in a low, I need it immediately and if I?m low enough, the less steps I have to remember to do beforehand, the better off I am at the time.

Secondly, when I dispose of my lancets, I toss them into either a Sharps container which immediately locks before tossing it in the trash.  Or, I toss it in an old bottle, like a Clorox bottle.  When it?s full, I take super glue and squeeze it in around the inside of the lid and glue the bottle shut so these things do not become injurious for sanitation workers.  I know they?re supposed to wear special safety gloves, but maybe boot all of them do.  My husband said ours wear those gloves.  Disposal laws, howe3ver, appear to very from state to state.  I know, in the state of Maryland, you can use old bottles as long as they?re closed securely.  

Just like Veronica, I?m lamenting over the loss of VD products.  Their syringes were the perfect design for the count-a-dose.  They were miraculous for me throughout my pregnancy and after.  Now, they?[re out of the syringe business and the count-a-dose is nearly null and void.   Nothing fits them anymore!!  Then there are those wonderful pen needles?VD.

Hi All,
  I use the fast clicks, which I believe are also Accucheck.  I like
them, because the needles come in a little drum so there aren't any
exposed sharp ends.  I think there are six in a drum, and you have a
switch on the lancing device to change needles.   Hope this helps.

Where does one get "soft click" lancets and which device do they work in and where does one get them?

Good Morning:

I, too, use the Soft Click Lancets and have been doing so for years.  I really like the device because it S smaller than many of the devices and fits better in my meter case.  However, there are a couple of things I do differently.  

Firstly, when I test, I immediately replace that lancet with a clean one so that when I need to test again, I never have to worry about whether or not the lancet is a clean one.  Because there are time?in a low, I need it immediately and if I?m low enough, the less steps I have to remember to do beforehand, the better off I am at the time.

Secondly, when I dispose of my lancets, I toss them into either a Sharps container which immediately locks before tossing it in the trash.  Or, I toss it in an old bottle, like a Clorox bottle.  When it?s full, I take super glue and squeeze it in around the inside of the lid and glue the bottle shut so these things do not become injurious for sanitation workers.  I know they?re supposed to wear special safety gloves, but maybe boot all of them do.  My husband said ours wear those gloves.  Disposal laws, howe3ver, appear to very from state to state.  I know, in the state of Maryland, you can use old bottles as long as they?re closed securely.  

Just like Veronica, I?m lamenting over the loss of VD products.  Their syringes were the perfect design for the count-a-dose.  They were miraculous for me throughout my pregnancy and after.  Now, they?[re out of the syringe business and the count-a-dose is nearly null and void.   Nothing fits them anymore!!  Then there are those wonderful pen needles?VD.  If pharmaceuticals use other needles because they?re cheaper, Oh Crap!!!  Ever have a needle that won?t draw up insulin?  Just happened to me the other night.  Never used to happen with the VD needles.  Bottom line here is, I?m seriously lamenting the loss of our VD friends...

You can only use the soft clicks Lansing device with the soft clicks lancets. They are really thin and fit into a little slut. Most other Lansing devices use those larger land sets.

Here's my current update. Just for fun, I walked down to my local pharmacies
to see what they carried. I found one called the Autolet Impression. It has
an interesting feature which I haven't tried yet. Not only do you have 7
depth choices, but you also have three spring strength choices. They are two
different things you turn to make the adjustment. You have three different
strengths which, according to their P R, you can use to make up for the need
to go deeper. 
I also bought some FreeStyle lancets which seem to work well so far, even
with my FreeStyle lancing device, even though replacing the cap isn't quite
as fast as the BD ones were. However, these days, if it gives me blood, I'll
take it.
I'll let you know how the research goes. It really does come down to trial
and error for each individual though.

Hi All,
  I use the fast clicks, which I believe are also Accucheck.  I like them,
because the needles come in a little drum so there aren't any exposed sharp
ends.  I think there are six in a drum, and you have a
switch on the lancing device to change needles.   Hope this helps.

been under good control for the last few years though.  One thing I want 
to warn anyone who ends up with this kind of loss is to find better pants 
than Salk Sani-Pants!  Those work while wearing but are too poorly 
constructed to survive many laundry cycles.  The waterproofing breaks and 
then the pants have to be trashed.  I have heard about P.U.L. pants and 
will be shopping for some this month since from what I've read are more 
durable for longer.

These is now a Metformin composite suitable for people who have stomach

If you are looking for solid under-wear, try purchasing Healthdri underwear.
They launder very well and actually do last many cycles. I believe they say
at least approximately 200 washes, and I have had some pairs for up to four
or five years. I like them for traveling. Ms. Martin is correct--there are
several generic brands of Metformen which are supposed to be better for your
stomach. Check with your doctor.

Make sure they don't give you normal medformen make sure it's medformen ex.
Medformen ex doesn't give you those types of problems.

              Does anyone know the status of negotiations with Medicare to
get them to allow use of an iPhone with the Dexcom G5 for blind users?  I
hear that such negotiations are going on, but don't know where they stand.

Good morning,
As far as I know, decks calm is still in negotiations. As far as smart phones and receivers go, I was told both from a Dexcom representative, and my doctor that, as long as I upload receiver data at least once a month, I can still use my smart device.

Hi Daniel,

Are you able to upload the data yourself from the Dexcom receiver? And, is it easy to turn the Dexcom receiver on/off as necessary?  I forget if you are totally blind or still have some useable vision.

Thanks.

Hi,
I am totally blind. From what a sighted person told me (as in reference to powering off the receiver,) it's an option from within the menu.
You have to select, "Shutdown," then the receiver turns off. Turning the receiver on is as simple as pushing the button.
Uploading data?
Uploading It's a piece of cake. Uploading is plug-and-play.
First, you have to get the Dexcom uploader application. You must be logged into Dexcom Clarity to get the download link.
Once you obtain the link, install the program as you would any other Windows application.
Once the uploader screen comes up (you might have to start it from All programs,) it should bring up a username and password dialog. Enter your Dexcom username/password (the one's you use to loginto Dexcom Clarity with,) and hit enter.
This username and password dialog wil only come up once, unless you end up changing your Dexcom clarity account information.
Finally, plug your receiver into your computer's USB port, then the other end of the cable into the micro USB port on your receiver.
I have tested the uploader with Jaws 14, and it reads the messages that come up (e.g., Receiver detected, reading, preparing, sending, done, etc,) and that is accessible.
So in conclusion, as long as you have the Dexcom uploader setup on your computer, plug your receiver into your computer and it will automatically upload.
As a rule of thumb, I was told by my doctor to try and upload on a daily bases, this way nothing gets lost.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, and I will answer them as best as I can.
It should be noted that, if you own a Mac, the Dexcom Uploader also is available for Mac, and does work with Voiceover on OS X.
Have an awesome day.

Daniel, do you have to carry the receiver with you at all times. I couldn't
make my receiver do anything. The worst was trying to shut up the alarms.
Are you saying that you just used your iPhone app and could upload from
Dexcom clarity to the receiver without having to use it. 
This makes Medicare's position even dumber if this is the case. 
Thanks.

Daniel, do you have to carry the receiver with you at all times. I couldn't
make my receiver do anything. The worst was trying to shut up the alarms.
Are you saying that you just used your iPhone app and could upload from
Dexcom clarity to the receiver without having to use it. 
This makes Medicare's position even dumber if this is the case. 
Thanks.
Veronica

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
When I mentioned Jaws 14, Windows 7, I was referring on how to upload receiver data.
Regarding uploading. My transmitter SN is inputted both into my receiver and into my iPhone.
Data is sent via bluetooth to both devices, and every day (usually at my bedtime) I upload the day's worth of data by simply connecting the receiber via USB to my computer, as I have the Dexcom uploader setup and installed.
Regarding receiver alarms. To silence them, you should be able to press the power button twice quickly. This applies for any notifications you may get (e.g., battery low, etc.)
Hope this response helps.
Have an awesome day.

Glad to see they've improved that in the more recent models. Back in 2013
when I first got mine, that process was awful.
Thanks.
