Okay let's talk stabbing yourself. Over and over, day after day, and year after year. Let's talk about the trepidation of pain-- that time when you slowly creep up on hitting the button because you know it's going to hurt like hell no matter WHERE you put it (Alternate site or especially the fingertips (the sides even.) Even with 33 guage micro lancets, my nerves hate me. They absolutely HATE me when I lace anywhere on my body. When I go to the doctor for the A1C, my finger throbs for hours after (no joke.) I flinch when I lance my fingers. It hurts when I use my arm. The pad of the hand? Oh, lordy. Worst pain ever. I feel it for a while after. Enter the Genteel lancing device. I was skeptical. I tried it on my arm first and had to use the 2nd tip to even get blood. That was ok because it still worked. I've used a few meters. Some like the Easy Touch were completely unforgiving about blood drop size, and they didn't allow OOPS-add more. I've used the Contour Next (0.6 microliters) and the Freedom/Freestyle Freedom Lite (0.3 microliter drops) that lets you add more. This lancing unit will, more often than not, get the amount needed for the Easy Touch without a need for a little up and down milking motion before releasing the vacuum. It would always give me enough for the Freestyle Freedom Lite. (You know that feeling, folks-- you stare at the blood drop and you know you are in better control because the blood barely wants to come out that day, or you know your sugar is high because that drop is right there immediately-- either way, this thing gets the blood.) Pros: I know what you're thinking. Painless? Hah. What just about every place means is "pain lesser", usually. I can honestly say this is the FIRST lancing device (and I've used them all from the standard one that comes in the kit to the side-purchases in the effort to not hurt as much) that actually doesn't make me flinch when I lance my finger. I can push the trigger now (after about a week of being dubious and sneaking up to pulling the trigger) hold the vacuum, release the button, collect the drop-- all without wincing. I know some of you are truckers and it doesn't bother you. You're used it-- that's great, but I never did. Whether I test on my arm or on my finger, I don't even hesitate anymore pressing the trigger. I just put the tip up to my skin, create the vacuum, and press. Done. This alone makes it worth every penny. Was I skeptical? Oh yes. Does it really work? Yes, indeed. Do you feel it? Yes, but while you feel the stick (sometimes) it is not a PAINFUL sensation, and that is what counts. I don't feel the OW--pull away sensation that I do with others. it comes with an emergency contact card in the case. Damn, how useful. I never even realized how great that was until I saw it. Everything FITS in the case, which is an added bonus: tips, glucose log, extra lancets, alcohol wipes, and even a few pen needles if you so choose. While some people may want "small and discreet" I prefer "functional and useful" and this fits the bill. The case is just big enough to hold everything I'd need before and after I lance. I can't really ask for more than that. The bag is branded Gentell with a butterfly on it. It doesn't scream "Hi I'm a lancing device and holding a glucose meter inside." If someone recognizes it, the already know what a Genteel is, so that's a different story. The case comes with a place to be belt mounted and has a hand strap. Both work well, just don't get so exited that you swing it around and smack someone in the face with it, and you'll be fine. Cons: the bag that comes with it is "universal" and it doesn't fit my test strip container very well. I had to struggle getting it in there. It fits-- barely. It's elastic, so it did work, eventually. The velcro tabs have to be permanently installed on your meter to work. This doesn't quite work for my meter unless I put it over the battery cover. (Otherwise I can't open it). Now... every so often I pull it off the velcro and get my meter... and the cover... in 2 pieces in my hand. Sometimes pressing the trigger is awkward. I feel like I'm pressing it, but it's not triggering. I'm getting better at it, but it was something awkward when I first started over to my switch. Overall: Investment of funds aside, if you are going to pay for lancing device, this one makes up for the many I have purchased in the hopes they would do what this was actually does: take the ouch out of lancing yourself. It might take a few tries to find the right tip size for each area you test. (I use blue for my finger sticks, and yellow for alternate sites-- you may find it different). I can definitely see the use of this over a normal lancing for children if you want to not have them "fear" the stick and be willing to do it to themselves. (Hey this comes with cheerful stickers to apply... and I'm almost tempted to use them, and I'm an adult!) Last con: you shouldn't use it for more than one person, so I can't just let someone borrow it and go "LOOK HOW AWESOME THIS WORKS". You'll have to take my word that it worked for me very well. I'm a finger sticking hater, and I don't mind it anymore. To me, that makes this thing worth it. If you are reading this, searching for a less painful device, then I hope this helps you. ... show more

    • Yes, it's expensive. No more bruises, no more pain.
Color: Playful Purple
TL;DR - buy the Genteel with Tiniboy 36g lancets (on Amazon only), take your time finding the right setup and you will have no pain. Genteel just released their own lancets called Butterfly Touch which are supposed to act just like the Tiniboy. I ordered some and they are relabeled regular 28g lancets from China! Buy the Tiniboy patented lancets. Full review: I have been bedridden for four years with severe pain thanks to a spinal injury and 8 surgeries. Over a year ago, I started having insatiable thirst. I finally got a doctor after my last doc retired and my fasting glucose came back at 157. I have a long family history of serious diabetes. Now, I am not afraid of needles. I've had over 30 procedures and countless surgeries. I can no longer get regular IVs because all my veins have blown up, so I get PICC lines. See? Not afraid of needles at all. Spinal injury means severe nerve pain in both legs and arms. Even the gentlest human touch sends me over the edge. I'm on Gralise and I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted, but neither takes away the hypersensitivity. I had to start testing my blood glucose a week ago. After the first two attempts (my blood over-clots) with 4-5 lancings each time, I was frustrated and in pain. I was using the TrueDraw lancing device which came with my TrueTrack meter. I tried alternate sites and nothing improved. A little googling uncovered many devices, all with the same design. My husband is an engineer and product designer, we are both gearheads and car enthusiasts. Imagine my delight when I found the Genteel- a product I could appreciate with actual features, not just the same spring-loaded stabbing of every other device. I overnighted it using Amazon Prime because the pain was that bad for me. I opened it immediately. The marketing is excellent, with lots of included materials and a slew of YouTube videos so even a monkey could use it. It is NOT complicated, but I can understand a learning curve for someone who has suffered from testing for decades given the lack of device variability on the market. I had already watched the videos included in the email I got from the inventor before the package arrived. I research everything to the enth degree, so I had read dozens of reviews and watched lots of videos about it. The main functional difference is suction. For someone like me, who clots too fast, this is an excellent feature. The Genteel is also easier to hold than a standard lancing device. The case is excellent. I've looked at Myabetic, Sugar Medical (my favorite is their new design universal) and other designer cases but since I don't yet know what my medication will be, I'm holding off. Regardless, the Genteel case is great. The best feature is the Velcro attachment for your meter so it can be easily removed for testing without having to reinstall it into elastic or a pouch. *Update* I'm now taking insulin and switching to a custom case to fit everything as this case isn't big enough for vials. It works fine for any meter and test strips (you will have to stretch the elastic to fit the strip vial) and lancing device but I want just one bag on the go. This will stay on my night stand and I'll be getting a second Genteel so I don't have to pack more supplies when I leave the house. A few pieces of advice- LANCETS MATTER! I've tried three different lancets so far. *Update* Genteel has just released their own lancets called Butterfly Touch, available through their website mygenteel. They aren't cheap but I found out they are designed similarly to the Tiniboy and given the huge improvement with the Tiniboy over all other lancets, I ordered some to try in hopes of an even better experience. *edit* They arrived and I am not happy. They are generic 28g lancets from china with a Genteel sticker slapped on the box. Buy the Tiniboy! The angle may be slightly different but they are just as painful as every other lancet except Tiniboy. The True Lancets (28g) were the most painful. The Bayer Microlet lancet (featuring a silicone coating) were not any better. After some research, there is nothing Micro about them- they are supposedly 28ga. The Droplet lancets included with my Genteel were 30ga and are far less painful, but they are not sold on Amazon. I did some digging and even though the manufacturer has printed the Tiniboy is incompatible, it turns out they are with some experimentation of tips. These are 36ga and the smallest on the market. The average consumer won't like the fact it must be finessed due to the shallow depth of the lancet, but I'll spend hours poking myself if it saves me years of unnecessary pain. Tiniboy lancets are only sold on Amazon. I ordered four boxes of 100 because every other tiny lancet company has gone belly up and I don't want to run out. The Genteel Butterfly Touch lancets are basic 28g lancets with a Genteel sticker slapped on the box. They may have a different angled cut but they are equally as painful as the Microlet. Learn from my wasted $9 (on sale, too!) and buy the Tiniboy lancets. Alternate site vs. finger testing PAIN scale: Keep in mind I suffer from severe neuropathy in both arms and legs. Here's my take on pain. I felt NOTHING on my inside forearm, both palm sites, and above my knee (numbness helps from spinal cord damage.) Fingers, I did. Don't let that deter you, though, because a smaller lancet meant far less pain. Let me compare: My regular lancing device with the 28ga True lancets was a 7/10 on lancing pain for my fingers. The Genteel with Microlet 28ga on fingers was 4.5/10 The Genteel with Genteel Butterfly Touch lancets on fingers is 4.5/10 The Genteel with Droplet 30ga on fingers was 3/10 The Genteel with Tiniboy 36g lancet on fingers is 1.5/10 and sometimes .5/10 IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME, but once you get the right combination of lancet and depth, you will be happy. Yes, they even have a money-back guarantee. Please, please be patient. Don't expect to open it, throw it in your bag, and leave the house. Set aside a quiet hour so you can read the documentation and try various setups. Also be sure your meter and your doctor are okay with alternate site testing. Sometimes fingers are required. I did a little experimenting over both arms and legs to find the most accurate spot. Yes, I used about 50 test strips, but I want to know my blood glucose level accurately! Bottom line? I love it. It's expensive, yes. But if I could rid my other pain using money, I would. This truly is an opportunity to pay to rid of pain. Every diabetic should have one. Go watch videos of toddlers using it on themselves and not crying. Diabetes isn't fair for kids, they shouldn't have to endure pain like that. Every meter manufacturer should include the Genteel. Every store should carry the Genteel. Getting their production up will lower the price eventually. I loved it so much, I bought one for one of my dearest friends who has suffered from diabetes for over 30 years. Guess what? No pain for him either. His fingers are always bruised up, just like my arm after just ONE day of testing. Buy it. Don't like it? You may need some tips or tricks, or worst case scenario, use the money-back guarantee. My dog ate one of my nozzles and the entire card of tips. Genteel sells replacement packs of nozzles for $15, and you can also buy additional tip cards with either ALL one color or the multi-size card for $15 from mygenteel. They frequently have discounts and coupons on their website, definitely compare pricing before you buy. They also offer a $10 coupon when you sign up for their mailing list right now in addition to having a huge sale on their devices. They do offer a metal body Genteel in Platinum or Gold, but these are expensive enough to warrant buying two plastic ones unless you've got the budget or just want to match your jewelry. If you buy directly from them, don't miss out on the survey at the end of your purchase, as they will donate $5 to one of three charities of your choice related to diabetes! It's a great chance to give a little something forward. ... show more

    • Painless!!!
Color: Buff Black
This device IS quite expensive. But if you're like me and have delicate skin and a low pain threshold, it's completely worth the money. When used with the Genteel 30-36 gauge lancets, this combination truly is painless. I still wince when I click to activate the device because the sound became synonymous with pain. But that response is slowly going away now that I'm using the Genteel Plus, in combination with the Genteel lancets. Highly recommend!!! ... show more
