It was on 5 before as DN said to have about there, but as i was struggling i turned it upto 7 and still not working i have a big body , but small skiny fingersWhat setting is your lancet on? Should read 1-5 around the top bit there's an arrow pointing to the current setting @goosey39
Thanks yes i always put in the meter first and do the sides rather than the tip as this is what she said, but as it wasnt working thought i would try the tip, that still didnt work either i will try tomorrow pressing harder and see what happens, thankyouPress the lancing device quite hard on your finger.. I use the side rather than the tip.
Ping the pinger and squeeze.. have your strip out and ready to insert into the monitor then try to scoop up the bead of blood onto the strip. The strip should be in the meter before you scoop.
Yes tried both but to no availI find that one hand is better than the other for getting blood. Have you tried the other hand?
Whack it up to 10 and see if that gets any results..!Yes tried both but to no avail
Do you know which lancing device or meter you have?I have tried that but still sod all
Yes carefreeDo you know which lancing device or meter you have?
I will try that too, thanksI find the sides of my little fingers produce a better globule than any of the others
Thanks, i will get there one way or another trying all these methodsTry with your hands warm (under the hot tap) .. sqeezing the skin around the needle site .. or pressing hard with your thumb below the needle site and moving upwards to push drop of blood out
Thankyou, i had roast chicken, mashed swede, carrots, cauli and peas with gravy for teaWell done!
