A lancing device (10) and method for self-collecting a sample of body fluid by penetrating a body tissue at a sampling site. The invention includes a housing geometry (16) configured for ease of use at different sampling sites on the body, even by persons having reduced dexterity and/or poor vision. Depth of penetration is selectively controlled by adjusting the stroke range of a spring-driven lancet carrier (38). A pressure applicator is included for stimulating flow of the body fluid. A transparent portion permits observation of the sampling site.
