People look at what you are eating

Also when people know you are with diabetes and check what you have put in your trolley :mad:

It strange how sometimes they bleed more than other times yet the lancing pen setting is the same, like you I always carry a tissue with me for such times as there's nothing worse than handing paperwork over covered in blood.

Yep - mine is "always" set on number 2 lancet speed .
Sometimes there is a little blood bit other times a lot of dripping blood :(
Have wondered the why with this ? - many times over .
Use different fingers each test - same lancet speed and technique .

When you have a bloodstain in your trouser leg and emergency biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your bag.

And test strips fall every where when you get something out of your bag or is that just me?
