I don't think I test particularly often, usually 5 or 6 times a day. Occasionally more depending in exercise/alcohol/feeling "funny". But my fingers are in shreds! I do it on the side like I was advised, and I have the device on the lowest setting because that's all it takes on me. Getting my finger to STOP bleeding is more of an issue. I'm now finding it hurts more and more as my fingers don't have a chance to recover! I try to change the lancet every time, but realistically it's more like every 2nd or 3rd time.
Does any one have advice on how to make it more bearable? I'm worried that in a years time ill be becoming more and more reluctant to test
