Dear Martha,

We appreciate your inquiry.  The best advice we can offer you is to contact a local medical equipment retailer or wholesaler as we currently do not have any used surgical instruments in stock.

Question
I am looking for a glucometer for my 12 year old son. He is very sensitive to pain. Which glucometer would be the least painful one? Thanks.

Answer

Thanks for your inquiry.  The majority of blood glucose monitors on the market today require a blood test and, unfortunately, there is no escaping the pain factor.  However, though most blood glucose monitors will direct you to take the blood sample from the forearm, this is not a law to be followed.  The best advice we can give you is to take the blood sample from a less sensitive area of the body (i.e. the fingertip).

There is technology being developed that will allow non-invasive methods and equipment for such testing, via lasers, ultrasound, etc.  However, the equipment that exists today is not readily available to the public and if it is, it's used in the medical community, and not very common at that.  Once these methods become available to a mass market, this may be an option to consider.  Until then, your best option is to go with blood glucose monitors that only require one drop of blood, such as the following:

Accu-Chek Advantage Diabetes Care Kit

• No wiping, no timing, no cleaning.
• Results in 40 seconds on an easy-to-read display.
• 100-test memory.
• Contents: meter, Chek Strip, 10 Comfort Curve test strips, control solution, Softclix lancet device with extra tip, lancets, self-test diary, two 3V lithium batteries & carrying case.

One Touch Basic Blood Glucose Testing Kit

• One Touch Basic meter
• Ten One Touch test strips
• Carrying Case
• Penlet II automatic blood sampler
• Lancets
• Control solution
• Owners booklet
• Logbook
• Batteries

Precision Q.I.D Kit

• No wiping, no blotting, no cleaning.
• Hand-held design allows testing while holding the sensor.
• Features a test strip requiring a very small blood sample for accurate results in 20 seconds.
• 10-test memory.
• Contents: meter, 10 test strips, Medisense lancing device, lancets and carrying case.
• Nonreplaceable battery included.

Hope that helps.  There are other Blood Glucose Monitors in our inventory you may want to evaluate.  After doing so, feel free to call our customer service department toll-free at 1-877-706-4480 if you have other questions or need additional assistance.
