How is Genteel different from other lancing devices?

With vacuum technology, depth control, and alternate site testing, Genteel is a brand new concept in lancing. Our patented Nozzle and Contact tip assembly ensures the shallowest prick possible, while vacuum lifts the skin to avoid the underlying pain nerves. Vibration aids further in the blocking of pain signals to the brain, while vacuum draws test blood to the surface.

In contrast, other lancers have limited ability to control penetration depth. Their spring loaded mechanisms can result in a painful, incomplete blood draw, and the need to lance and squeeze multiple times. Genteel uses varying skin thickness to your advantage by giving you the ability to customize your testing experience. Find your favorite testing spots & accompanying contact tips, and let skin heal.

Will my health insurance cover my purchase of Genteel?

Most insurance companies cover the cost of diabetes supplies, but the amount is dependent on your policy, deductibles, and the guidelines of your carrier. It is always best to contact your insurance company and inquire about your specific policy. Make sure you tell them the HCPCS code for Genteel is A4258, which describes a spring-loaded lancing device.

 

What supplies do I need, and do I need to replace anything?

To test your blood sugar with Genteel, you will need your own meter and test strips. Genteel is compatible with all meter and test-strip brandsWith Genteel Plus, you can use most square shaft lancets on the market. If you have our base model, Genteel, you will need our Butterfly Touch Lancets. For optimal hygiene and comfort, replace your lancets after each use. Contact tips, nozzles and other accessories/replacement supplies are listed under the 'painless lancing devices' drop down menu > 'replacement supplies'.

 

Where on my body can I test?

Because Genteel uses vacuum, it is possible to to test anywhere you are comfortable. Palms, especially, are just as accurate as fingertips, with the added benefit of less pain nerves, and will give you the most accurate numbers. You can also test on your forearm, shoulder, abdomen and even your knee. These are considered alternate sites.

 

Is alternate site testing as accurate as blood from my fingertips?

Blood sugar changes rapidly, especially after eating, exercising, and taking meds. Alternate sites can take up to 30 minutes to catch up with fingers and palms. However, if your blood sugar is in a "steady-state," meaning you have not done anything to change it in the last hour or two, alternate sites are a good choice.

How do I know what Contact Tip to use?

We always recommend starting with the thickest one first (Blue), and working your way down to the thinner tips until you find your sweet spot. You may find that one contact tip works great for one area of the body, while another color works better for another part. Overall, it's important to test it out to find what works for your individual needs.

Does Genteel impact my readings?

If you are getting different readings using different lancing devices, it is not your lancing device, but some contamination of your skin that is affecting it. Always ensure your skin is clean and uncontaminated before testing
