Does it really work without pricking your skin for blood sample?

No, all meters require blood. What they mean is you can stick your forearm instead but its less accurate that way. Hope this helps.

No. Efforts are being made to develop a meter that works without requiring a physical blood sample but, to my knowledge, we're not there yet. When it happens you can bet they won't be selling them for $13.00.

Still requires pricking the skin, but allows for different site testing, such as arms.

No you must obtain a blood sample, albeit it can be a very small sample. This meter requires a very small amount of blood, so you can use a very small lancette, which is not very painful. I use a 31 (fine) gauge lancette for the Embrace meter and I use a 28 (large) gauge lancette for another meter I use that requires a hanging drop of blood (for another test). The large gauge lancette is more painful.Where does it say that you don't need to prick your skin for a sample?

Absolutely not. It is somewhat more effective when your skin is damp but not required.

I always get a strip out, prick my finger with the lancet, then stick the strip in the meter. Just be sure to wait until the meter asks for a blood sample.

Physically I don't know because I didn't feel anything myself, but it says it stimulates blood flow. There's no way to find that out except from a medical center

I've been using it since January 24th of this year. In that time I have noticed that my severe acne has almost completely disappeared. I've also noticed that my moods are much more calmer. This is coming from someone who gets very irritable, very easily. As far as blood pressure and blood sugar I haven't had them tested since I started the oil as these were never health issues for me. I honestly can say, try it. It really makes a difference. In fact I've noticed that while all of my co-workers have been out sick with the same dang cold all winter long, I haven't even gotten the sniffles. No allergies, nothing.

I can't answer that as every body chemistry is different, but I can tell you my cortisol levels are so high they can't even be measured, and this stuff works for me, so I would imagine it would help you.

Also included in the kit should be the lancing device, into which you insert the lancet. This pierces the skin. A small drop of blood comes to the skin and then you gently touch it with the test strip, which you have already placed in the strip meter. Your count will show up on the strip meter within a few seconds.

No. But to be totally honest, I saw absolutely no results. Didn't do anything it advertises to do. Returned it and got refund.

The device has an intensity knob that allows to regulate the intensity.No, there is no needles involved. It feels more like very mild static electricity shock to your skin.

Hello! Yes, you would need a lancet device, and lancets to jab your finger for the blood sample. Remember, always use the sides of your fingers, not the pads.

I use my kit twice a week and am very pleased with my results. I first tested it on my hands and inner forearm to praactice my technique and see if I had any adverse reaction. I didn't and really love the product.

It's just a small needle prick of a finger. I have no soreness afterwards. You can adjust the lancet to the desired depth when it does the puncture. The meter is easy to use and has your reading in about 5 seconds. You do need to purchase the Bayer test strips and lancet needles, but they are very reasonably priced on Amazon. They are VERY expensive if you go to the regular drug store. The meter will keep an internal record of your glucose levels, but I keep a spreadsheet so I can keep track and my doctor really likes that. Good luck.

I've tried it 2x a week and there was still no appreciable difference. It simply never worked for me. But I believe they try to space out the treatments so you don't burn your skin. Using it you do smell the singed hair, so there is a burn-effect. It never actually burned my skin though, even if I used it again the next day. (And I do have sensitive skin.)

It works for me and I have sensitive skin...but not very sensitive skin....so I don't know if it will work for you.

I take blood samples from my fingers. You can take blood from arms and legs but I never have. I feel sure if you go to OneTouch website, OneTouch will tell you exactly. After you get the blood, remember that you have to put the strips in from the side of blood (horizontal angle) for OneTouch strip, not down from the top - 90 degree. You will get an error for straight down. Good luck.

It seems to. My husband told me he's noticed quite a difference in my skin. I had two spots on my face that are gone. I also had a pencil lead stain from a grade school pencil stab (a classmate got mad at me - long story) & it is gone. I figure if. Spouse notices a difference it must work.

It works pretty well. That doesn't mean you can skip checkups, but it helps a lot.
