Have you ever done finger sticks for the glucose test?

I got a vague description from my doctor.

(A little back story on why I’m asking)

So, I have a huge phobia of needles-related to my PTSD-and I told my OB that.

I told her I could do the first blood draw, but if I look somewhat worrying I’m nervous I’d panic too much to do three in a day because I hyperventilate just going in.(if needed no matter what, I’d do the three sticks)

She said I’d either do 4 finger sticks a day for a week, or 4 sticks in that day and just that day . she wasn’t very clear when speaking.

Has anybody else done this? And if so, was the finger sticking at home?(with your own equipment), or at the hospital?

I’m just curious to what she meant.

Sorry if this sounds crazy, like I said I got a really bad description of what was going to happen.
