Lancets and other lancing instruments are basically sharp blades or needles which are to be used in order to obtain blood samples meant for glucose testing. To correctly use these devices it is important to strictly adhere to the instructions given along with them. Though they are pretty simple to use, it would be best to ask a health care professional to help you the first or first few times if you are not comfortable with it.
Remember that there are a range of lancets. You will find some with protective caps and a number of other special features. With most of the automatic lancing instruments you need to hold it against the skin and then simply press a button which releases the lancet. Remember to clean and reset the lancing device before using it again.
