This was in Dr Bernsteins diabetes solution book so many people may already have seen it but for me, it's completely transformed my blood testing - he says to use the BACK of the fingers (ie the nail/knuckle side). Sounds really odd and I was sure it was going to really hurt but it totally didn't, and I have not had any difficulty getting blood out, whereas normally I find it incredibly hard. Just press the lancet a bit more gently than you normally would because the skin is thinner.
