Hi there,

Finally, I got the OneTouch Delica yesterday from the states. With its tiny lancet, it indeed causes less pain. I used OneTouch Ultra Soft before. It was a night and day experience.

I'm curious, does anyone know the difference between OneTouch Delica and Accu-Chek Multiclix - I mean the pain level, which one is less painful. I have two Multiclix pens at home but never try them. I'm turned off by the drums, it looks too complicated to me.

Thanks!

I can say the Multiclix is very painless (for wife but I am guinea pig) and combined with the extremely low blood requirement of the Aviva model even the wife is happy. Have not fund the drum to be complex - just twist after each use to get a new needle. It physically shows the usage and needles are inside the canister so no contact.

As for comparison can not comment as have not used the new One-Touch model.

I had the OneTouch Ultra. I switched to the AccuChek Performa and found the multiclix lancet much less painful. Cheaper too as they seem to last longer.

I switched from OneTouch Ultra and OneTouch Ultra 2 since Sept 2009, the inflated figure sent my poor dad direct to ER. Since then I began to use both Accu-Chek Aviva and Accu-Chek Performa but I still sticked with the OneTouch Ultra Soft lancing pen until yesterday.

Will try the Accu-Chek Multiclix.

Thanks for your reply, appc it.

Is the Aviva and Performa that same unit? It appears Performa is the OZ name. Are either available on Thai market yet? I have had to order strips from UK (ebay) but only used occasionally so not an issue.

No, they're different. From what I understood, Aviva (blue color) meter is available in the states (where I got it) as well as the UK (according to you). Performa (maroon color) is available in Thailand and several countries in Asia. They are almost the same, I personally believe that Aviva is more accurate than Performa, I took both of them to the hospital during the blood draw and asked the lab technician to put some blood samples on them, then I compared with the lab test result.

The strips for these two are completely different, Aviva strips are bigger, easy to use esp for elderly. The strips for Performa is a bit small, about the same size as One Touch.
