Wow! Beautiful painting!View attachment 24212 View attachment 24213 View attachment 24214 I always test on the side because I need my fingers for delicate art work all donated to raise money for
Charities.
I have always used my finger tips!
Not because I haven't seen all the advice on here about using the sides, but because A) it hurts less and B) I can't get enough blood out of the sides.
And a really old school Nurse might use your ear lobes, so all fingers can read Braille!While in hospital earlier this year, I had my blood tested by an old school nurse. She said you must always test on the side of your fingers, as being a diabetic you are at risk of losing sight, and to read brail the last thing you need is desensitised finger tips.
A bit pessimistic but valid point I suppose.
Probably one of those hand models that are paid a ship load of money getting pix taken of them.Also notice the perfectly manicured, healthy looking finger tips, some of which don't look like they have ever worked either !! I would also hazard a guess that they are pretty old images too..
