I. Lancets
What Are Blood Lancets for Diabetes?
Lancets are small, disposable and usually sterile medical implements that are equipped with a double-edged needle or blade, and are used to obtain small specimens of blood.
What Size Lancet Do I Need?
Lancets come in multiple size options, with each size indicating the length of the needle. The smaller the size (known as the gauge), the thicker the needle. For most people, a size 30 lancet will suffice to get a good finger prick. However, for those with thicker skin, a smaller size needle between 25 – 28 may be more effective as the thicker needle will work better with their skin. On the other hand, patients with very thin skin may prefer a 32 or 33 gauge lancet, as thinner needles cause less pain.
II. Lancet Devices
What is a Lancing Device?
Diabetics use lancet testing multiple times throughout the day in order to monitor their blood sugar levels. The lancet device is loaded with a lancet and then used to perform a finger prick (also known as finger stick) to draw capillary blood for testing.
How do Lancing Devices Work?
Modern lancet devices are generally spring-loaded and are designed to push the lancet pin into the skin very quickly, before (almost instantaneously) retracting it back into the barrel. By doing this, lancing devices provide a small sampling of blood for testing while causing minimal pain. Since the whole process of pricking takes a millisecond, the nerves generally can’t process the impact fast enough to cause pain.
Lancet Device Setting
Before using your lancing device for the first time, set the depth penetration, which can be set to any number from 0 – 10 (exact depth options vary by product), to indicate how deep into the finger the needle should go.
For those with very thin skin, especially patients on corticosteroids or have skin that bruises easily, less depth penetration is preferable. Individuals with thick skin will need the needle to plunge deeper to avoid grazing the finger without retaining a sufficient blood sample.
While your user’s manual should be consulted for exact setting instructions, the following chart will give you a basic idea of the depth setting you may need.
