There are many types of lancets and lancet devices.

Many students will use a lancing device. Some lancing devices have several depth settings to allow for the difference between sensitive fingers and callused fingers.  Some come with two caps for the end that touches the finger to adjust the depth of puncture. In addition, the pressure of the finger on the cap determines how deep the puncture will go. It should be deep enough to provide an adequate amount of blood, but not be so deep as to cause bruising or pain.

Often people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. Others are symptomatic with very high blood glucose levels.

Some symptoms are often similar to type 1:

• Tired
• thirst 
• hunger
• increased urination

Plus the following symptoms:

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.

In Type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin or the body cells have become less responsive to insulin, a condition called insulin resistance. 

With insulin resistance the body needs increasing amounts of insulin to control blood glucose. The pancreas tries to make more insulin, but sometimes cannot make enough.

The symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop over a short period of time.  They include:

• Unusual  increased thirst
• Frequent urination
• Extreme hunger
• Unusual weight loss
• Extreme fatigue and irritability
• Blurred vision

If not diagnosed and treated with insulin, the person with type 1 diabetes will eventually lapse into a life-threatening condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (KEY-toe-asi-DOE-sis) or DKA.
