Roche Accu-chek Fastclix Blood Glucose Lancets 24 Pieces

Accu-Chek Fastclix are products that are useful for taking fresh capillary blood sample from the fingertip to perform the glycemic analysis test. It comes in a pack of 4 magazine cylinders that each contain 6 lancets. The hands that have already been used are differentiated from those that are still new thanks to a red indicator. Each lancet is for use only with the Accu-Chek Fastclix lancing device.

Technical features

Each Accu-Chek Fastclix lancet comes with a stainless steel body and a needle with a 30 gauge diameter or 0.3 mm. Furthermore, the integrity and sterilization of the lancets is ensured by the presence of the protective cap which is automatically pierced at the time of use. The technology used reduces the sensation of pain during the puncture and limits the possibility that skin lesions can occur, thus tearing the epithelial layers.

How is blood sugar measured?

To measure your blood glucose correctly, you need to perform the test steps accurately and meticulously.

• Insert the compatible test strip into the chosen blood glucose meter;
• Wait for the meter to turn on;
• Prick your fingertip with the lancing device and press sideways to release the drop of fresh capillary blood;
• Deposit the drop on the suction area of the strip;
• Wait for the countdown;
• View your blood glucose values on the display.

When is blood glucose measured?

In self-monitoring of blood glucose it is necessary to know when to measure blood glucose. Diabetic experts recommend performing a blood glucose analysis test 1 to 4 times a day and at different times of the day. In particular:

• Before the meal;
• 2 hours after the time of the meal;
• The evening;
• Before getting insulin;
• When you experience the symptoms of high blood sugar.

Why is it important to measure blood sugar on a regular basis?

Regularly measuring blood glucose values with an analysis test is necessary so that the diabetic patient can keep their pathology under control and can detect in time if there are symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) thus removing the possibility that he could go into a diabetic coma.
