white lancelets (white pricks)

[catwoman]

return them if you can, we need the yellow ones!

Don't know about Canadian laws ... but I've been told that in the U.S. you can't return opened boxes of lancets because they're the wrong size/type.

But if you were SHIPPED the wrong type and you didn't request that type, it might be another story.........

Up-Date

Marsha/catwoman: to answer your previous question, yes I can return them, no problems - straight exchange. The yellow ones will be in on Friday.

Thank-You Westie for starting this thread.
Thank-You everyone for your input.
And thank-you Smedders for making me aware that there is a difference in the name and color.

Oh, thank-you Zipper2 for telling me about Ron. What great guy to deal with.

Lancet pen does not like me! I take the cap off and prick myself without loading...only way I can get a decent stab!

Colleen, is the dial set on 3 or 4 ?
Then load it and twist cap until it clicks. then it is set.

I use the yellow ones, they give a nice stab.
Lancer setting at 3.5

Same here! I checked my husband the other day just to make sure machine was working good and I had to move it to 4.5, he has thick skin, he was 1.1. I almost forgot to put it back, I am at 3.9 right now just adjusted my meds.

Hi Colleen,
When I started home testing I also had and sometimes still have a problem obtaining a good drop of blood from the stick especially during the winter.
So, the night prior to testing I wash and dry my hands and then apply a band-aid to the testing area after moistening the gauze pad with water. I use two to be on the safe side and don't remove them until the strip has been inserted into the monitor. Usually the skin will appear lighter and the skin obviously moist.
My Soft clix is set to 5. I wish there was a lancette launcher available without the word nor impression soft creates. Maybe something like tear and gouge
Also I was told to soak my hand up to the wrist in warm water prior to testing--didn't change anything.
Anyway happy pricking.
