Hi Folks
I hope this doesn't sound a stupid question but here goes anyway. I'm newly diagnosed & I'm testing regularly. However, my fingers are now covered in little bruises from the lancets and some are quite tender. Is there a way to stop this? Am I not doing it correctly? I use the side of my fingers & not the pads. Advice gratefully received before people start thinking I self abuse!!
