Suggestion for pricking to test glucose

Nandy • First time mom

Hi Ladies,

If anyone is struggling to get blood out for glucose tests and using higher numbers on lacing device. Here is a piece of advise I received and is extremely helpful.

Cleaning hands with warm water. Squeeze from the bottom of your finger to tip before pricking. Once you prick the tip and got a smal drop, repeat squeezing the finger to the tip. With this methos i am able to move down from using 5 on lancing device to 3.

Less pain and no marks.
