If you're still messing about with lancets and putting up with painful testing, ask your pharmacy about the Accu-Chek Multiclix.
Whenever we do a focus group with people with diabetes, no one likes to be the first to admit it, but once someone says “I really don’t like dealing with lancets” almost everyone agrees.
Then we’ll hear that people haven’t changed their lancet in months or even years. They carry on using the same old blunt lancet, even though it hurts like mad.
It’s always a bit of fun when we pass out the Accu-Chek Multiclix lancing device and watch what happens.
First up, because the Accu-Chek Multiclix is really intuitive to use, it never takes more than a minute or two before people are using it. Typically, people are amazed.
As one person said, “Is that it? I didn’t even notice.”
Another laughed at the difference, commenting that using her old lancet was “like sticking in a drawing pin!”
The really big difference though is the fact that there’s not a lancet in sight with the Accu-Chek Multiclix. They are all tucked away in the clever drum.
There are 6 lancets stored in the drum. The current lancet slots into place by twisting the drum. Then, when you’re ready for a new one, you just twist the drum and the next lancet is already there, ready to go.
When all the lancets are used just pop the drum out, load another drum and go.
It all means you never have to see or handle a lancet again.
