Features
- The Lancing Device Youll Actually Want to Use - If you need to draw blood regularly, the lancing device matters. Traditional fingerstick devices can make testing painful, stressful, and easy to avoid. Genteel is designed to change that with a more comfortable blood draw from your fingertip, palm, or other alternate testing sites.
- Designed for More Comfortable Blood Sampling - Ideal for people who draw blood often, including people with sore fingertips, testing anxiety, caregivers, parents helping children, CGM users who still need spot checks, and those drawing blood for glucose, ketone, A1C, gestational diabetes, or home DNA testing.
- No More Squeezing - Genteel uses patented vacuum-assisted technology to help draw a blood sample without squeezing or milking the skin. This helps reduce discomfort, supports a better blood drop, and makes frequent blood sampling feel less intimidating.
- Precision You Can Feel - Six patented contact tips help control draw depth for different skin types and testing sites, giving you a more consistent blood sample with less guesswork, and fewer repeated sticks.
- Universal Lancet Compatibility - Works with widely available square-shaft diabetic lancet, so you are not locked into a proprietary system. Use Genteel with the meter, test strips, or blood testing routine you already trust.
- Complete Starter Kit Lancing Device Only - The Genteel Essential lancing device is the perfect addition to your diabetic supplies. It includes the lance, nozzle, 6 contact tips, pouch, instructions, and 10 Butterfly Touch lancets. Genteel is not a glucometer, ketone meter, A1C home test kit, or CGM. It does not measure blood sugar or ketones and does not include a meter, test strips, or continuous monitor.

I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes. I was given one option and one option only in what device I could use to help monitor my blood sugar. I spent weeks back and forth with both my doctor and my health insurance to put me on a new device but it was all for not. The lance I was using before was very much broken, even though I didn't know it was, and I was forced to poke myself over a hundred times a day. Quick reference, I have very sensitive skin and poking my fingertips causes issues so I poke my arm instead. After much complaining to my doctor they just suggested I test myself once or twice a week which I took as them just wanting me off their back so I stopped testing all together. My blood sugar was within normal range to slightly high so it wasn't that big of a deal. Then comes a new medication that boosts my blood sugar to dangerous numbers. I wasn't feeling right one day and decided to check my blood sugar, 422. I about had a heart attack. I started walking more than once a day, started eating much healthier than what I was and started testing my blood several times a day. By the second day I was just tired of all the poking and my arm was hurting and fatigued. I had to find a better way so I bought a new monitor and lance. Neither are covered by insurance but at this point I was desperate. Got the new monitor in Contour Next One. I wanted this monitor because it can test without the need of a lot of blood. Used the lance it came with and realized my old lance was broken. My old lance had an adjustable position system for the lancet to move up or down depending on the distance the tester needed to draw blood but mine didn't seem to work. The new lance did and I quickly found that sometimes the lance still hurt. Queue taking a giant leap in purchasing this lance. I hated the price, I mean I changed my mind so many times that it felt like I was breaking the Amazon website by how often I was adding and then deleting this lance from my cart. Finally I just shut my eyes turned away while I blindly ordered this lance. The day I opened this product I was intimidated by how well made it is. I expected something so cheap and fragile, like all the other lances I've seen. Because of its design I contributed that to how awful it'll be to use. I didn't feel a thing and it drew enough blood to test twice over. Sure it took a little trial and error to get the end size to draw that much blood but not a single time did it hurt. To be honest, until I lifted the lance I didn't think it worked at all until I saw that beautiful red dot on my arm begging to be scooped up by my test strip. I love this lance and am still surprised by how much it doesn't hurt. Yes it costs a lot for just a lance but I'm convinced it was a worthwhile investment into my journey with diabetes. If you read this far then thank you and if you are on the fence on this purchase like I was, take the leap it's so worth it. Also, if you were thinking of buying this for a child just know it comes with stickers for them to make the lance their own which is such a great idea in my opinion. Did I mention this lance doesn't hurt, just a reminder for those thinking of buying this for a child. No pain!

My dog was diagnosed with Cushing disease which likely brought on diabetes so my vet gave me materials to draw blood and test glucose levels. I was shown how to prick the inside of the ear with an individual needle and use a drop of blood in a glucose monitor for this process. I struggled and struggled to get enough blood so finally I went online and began searching for another method. I found the Blue Genteel Lancet and it looked good so I purchased it. Let me tell you it was a miracle. The company says that it makes drawing blood painless and it DOES! I tried the lancet on 4 different parts of my body and it is painless! I selected a small part of the dog's hip, trimmed the hair so a seal could be made. You hold the Lancet like a pen, put the rubber tip against the skin and trigger the mechanism, holding it firmly against the skin until a drop of blood big enough to activate the glucose monitor is obtained. Then you release the vacuum, insert the strip into the blood to activate the glucose monitor. It is so simple to use and my dog went from shaking violently to just laying on her side with no shaking. I know this lancet is expensive but it is worth every penny. My dog used to run away from me when I was going to prick her ear. She totally stressed out each time I picked her up in anticipation of the ear pricking process. I have never felt so inadequate at any level of care for my dog, including whelping, as I was while trying to measure her blood sugar. This lancet brought me relief and made the blood sugar testing an easy process. I recommend it to any pet owner.. You will be grateful to have an instrument that is easy to use and effective. Amazon, it would be helpful to have this item show with the group of lancets shown initially. I looked for a while until I came across it. It truly is a GREAT instrument.

For a little gadget, I think this is very overpriced. However, if I have to be honest, the lancing device is not bad. Despite being equipped with a larger needle, it is less anxiety, and less painful if used on AST. The directions say that you can use it in your fingers as well, but I would not recommend doing it. I tried on my finger and it hurt way more than a regular finger prick lancet. So just use it for AST only, and if you want to prick your finger, use a normal lancet device instead. For more accurate reading you will need a good glucose meter designed to read blood drawn from AST. Your normal glucose meter can still read it but the reading will be around 30-40 points off. When using a glucose meter designed for AST the reading would be very close to the finger prick' s reading.

After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes and given a standard finger pricker, I was wincing four times a day when it came time to prick my finger. So my mother-in-law sweetly gifted this to me (she's a former nurse) and got one for her husband's practice, too. A side/note on how this thing works-you can use a lot of lancets/needles that you prefer, but the main idea is that the Genteel creates a suction on your finger right before it pricks it. The pain is lessened. It's not completely painless, but after using it 4x daily for almost two months, I have no problem pricking multiple time in even a minute or two. It's just "background" pain that I don't even notice except maybe every 6/7th prick I do, where i will feel it poke a bit more (still not painful in my book). At first the Genteel seemed not that different from my standard device that insurance gave me, so I tried out a few different lancets (needle prickers) and finally found the winner for me (tiniBoy ultra-thin 36 gauge). The other ones I used I don't remember the name, but they were rated high on Amazon and are multi-colored. Those were too painful. Now, it's important to know that every person's skin has its own thickness, which is a huge factor with this. On a 1-10 scale, where 1 is the gentle, delicate, thin-skinned finger of someone who does absolutely no labor, and 10 is a hard-core construction worker who uses his/ her hands all the time, I'm about a 4. As far as pain tolerance, hard to gauge, but I would say I'm somewhere in the middle (shots don't bother me, but finger pricks I general make me flinch). The Lancets are key to this device in my opinion, which is why tiniBoy works for me. But sometimes/fairly often i prick and get no blood. This is annoying since my Lancet reader is timed for about 30 seconds. So when that happens I have to re-prick quickly. This is where the little colorful plastic rings come in the play (these will come with the Genteel, and this is what makes direct contact with your finger and is attached to the tip of the Genteel device). Each ring creates a different amount of suction on your finger tip, which causes the needle to puncture your finger and a different strength. So with a tiny, thin needle like the tiniBoy, a "stronger" ring on the Genteel device is going to draw more blood (the purple ring is the strongest). So that's what I use. I much prefer to re-prick a few times and use a thin lancet/needle than prick once for blood that draws every time, but hurts way more. Also, at first I was conditioned to kind of flinch away once I pressed the button on the Genteel (which triggers the needle to prick), and this makes the device a lot less effective. You have to push the device firmly on to the pad of your finger (I do it much harder, even though the YouTube video says it's completely unnecessary), then press the button, and (even though I want to flinch) I keep the device still on my fi get for another good second or two. This part is when the suction happens on your finger tip, which is the key reason of why the Genteel is indeed more gentile. Hope this helps.

It’s not worth the name “Genteel.” Not gentle at all, seriously. The first two rubber caps barely pierced my finger and third one hurt my finger still not enough drop of blood so I had to stroke from the baseline of my finger to the tip and squeeze and at times I had to prick again on a different site of the same finger or on a different finger. Those repeated stockings left quite ugly dark scars to the point where I thought I could not let the level of skin injuries continue. Another thing that bothers me is unlike other brands you have to grab the used lancet with your fingers and pull out of the device which I think is not only inconvenient but also not advisable because the blood-coated tip of the test strip might possibly have been contaminated. And finally when the release button is pressed the spring generates quite a loud noise with some vibration. Again not gentle at all. Been using this device a little over 2 months and the spring seems to be getting rougher when released. Unfortunately it is unreturnable as I missed the time. I would not recommend this device.

If you suffer from the fear and indignity that goes with a needle phobia and are faced with a medical condition requiring finger sticks that are painful and in some cases create such terror that hinders proper care then Genteel is absolutely the solution you have been looking for. I couldn’t believe it was really painless!

Okay let's talk stabbing yourself. Over and over, day after day, and year after year. Let's talk about the trepidation of pain-- that time when you slowly creep up on hitting the button because you know it's going to hurt like hell no matter WHERE you put it (Alternate site or especially the fingertips (the sides even.) Even with 33 guage micro lancets, my nerves hate me. They absolutely HATE me when I lace anywhere on my body. When I go to the doctor for the A1C, my finger throbs for hours after (no joke.) I flinch when I lance my fingers. It hurts when I use my arm. The pad of the hand? Oh, lordy. Worst pain ever. I feel it for a while after. Enter the Genteel lancing device. I was skeptical. I tried it on my arm first and had to use the 2nd tip to even get blood. That was ok because it still worked. I've used a few meters. Some like the Easy Touch were completely unforgiving about blood drop size, and they didn't allow OOPS-add more. I've used the Contour Next (0.6 microliters) and the Freedom/Freestyle Freedom Lite (0.3 microliter drops) that lets you add more. This lancing unit will, more often than not, get the amount needed for the Easy Touch without a need for a little up and down milking motion before releasing the vacuum. It would always give me enough for the Freestyle Freedom Lite. (You know that feeling, folks-- you stare at the blood drop and you know you are in better control because the blood barely wants to come out that day, or you know your sugar is high because that drop is right there immediately-- either way, this thing gets the blood.) Pros: I know what you're thinking. Painless? Hah. What just about every place means is "pain lesser", usually. I can honestly say this is the FIRST lancing device (and I've used them all from the standard one that comes in the kit to the side-purchases in the effort to not hurt as much) that actually doesn't make me flinch when I lance my finger. I can push the trigger now (after about a week of being dubious and sneaking up to pulling the trigger) hold the vacuum, release the button, collect the drop-- all without wincing. I know some of you are truckers and it doesn't bother you. You're used it-- that's great, but I never did. Whether I test on my arm or on my finger, I don't even hesitate anymore pressing the trigger. I just put the tip up to my skin, create the vacuum, and press. Done. This alone makes it worth every penny. Was I skeptical? Oh yes. Does it really work? Yes, indeed. Do you feel it? Yes, but while you feel the stick (sometimes) it is not a PAINFUL sensation, and that is what counts. I don't feel the OW--pull away sensation that I do with others. it comes with an emergency contact card in the case. Damn, how useful. I never even realized how great that was until I saw it. Everything FITS in the case, which is an added bonus: tips, glucose log, extra lancets, alcohol wipes, and even a few pen needles if you so choose. While some people may want "small and discreet" I prefer "functional and useful" and this fits the bill. The case is just big enough to hold everything I'd need before and after I lance. I can't really ask for more than that. The bag is branded Gentell with a butterfly on it. It doesn't scream "Hi I'm a lancing device and holding a glucose meter inside." If someone recognizes it, the already know what a Genteel is, so that's a different story. The case comes with a place to be belt mounted and has a hand strap. Both work well, just don't get so exited that you swing it around and smack someone in the face with it, and you'll be fine. Cons: the bag that comes with it is "universal" and it doesn't fit my test strip container very well. I had to struggle getting it in there. It fits-- barely. It's elastic, so it did work, eventually. The velcro tabs have to be permanently installed on your meter to work. This doesn't quite work for my meter unless I put it over the battery cover. (Otherwise I can't open it). Now... every so often I pull it off the velcro and get my meter... and the cover... in 2 pieces in my hand. Sometimes pressing the trigger is awkward. I feel like I'm pressing it, but it's not triggering. I'm getting better at it, but it was something awkward when I first started over to my switch. Overall: Investment of funds aside, if you are going to pay for lancing device, this one makes up for the many I have purchased in the hopes they would do what this was actually does: take the ouch out of lancing yourself. It might take a few tries to find the right tip size for each area you test. (I use blue for my finger sticks, and yellow for alternate sites-- you may find it different). I can definitely see the use of this over a normal lancing for children if you want to not have them "fear" the stick and be willing to do it to themselves. (Hey this comes with cheerful stickers to apply... and I'm almost tempted to use them, and I'm an adult!) Last con: you shouldn't use it for more than one person, so I can't just let someone borrow it and go "LOOK HOW AWESOME THIS WORKS". You'll have to take my word that it worked for me very well. I'm a finger sticking hater, and I don't mind it anymore. To me, that makes this thing worth it. If you are reading this, searching for a less painful device, then I hope this helps you.
