Which lancets to use?

There are several types of lancets for measuring blood glucose. Some of the most common types are:

Standard lancets: These are the most common type of lancets and are usually used with a lancing device. They are designed to be used once and then discarded.
Safety lancets: These lancets are designed to minimize the risk of accidental punctures. They feature a retractable needle that automatically retracts after use, reducing the risk of contamination and injury.
Adjustable lancets: These lancets allow the user to adjust the depth of the needle, which can be useful for people with thicker or thinner skin.
Capped lancets: These lancets have a twist-on cap that exposes the needle. They are usually used without a lancing device and are designed for people who prefer a simpler lancet.

It is important to choose the right type of lancet for your needs and follow proper procedures when using them. Always dispose of used lancets properly to avoid accidental punctures.
