Children with Diabetes has reviews of blood test meters to help you make a decision on the best meter for your son. The SureStep is not recommended by Children with Diabetes because other meters offer better features for children, notably small blood drop requirements. In addition, early models of the SureStep have been recalled due to a potentially dangerous software programming flaw that reports an error condition when blood sugar levels are extremely high. Lancing devices and lancets are reviewed at Lancets and Lancing Devices . For kids, an adjustable lancing device offers the most flexibility.
Many new lancets are thinner than older models and are therefore less painful.
Just be sure that your lancing device works with your lancets. Comments and Feedback . Privacy statement .
