[QUOTE="cugila, post: 82224, member: 15325"] Hi maskedman. The problem you have might be helped if you change to a better finger pricker ? I have two. One is made by Bayer and came with an Ascensia Breeze 2 meter. This is like some medieval torture instrument and is always slightly painful even on it's lowest setting. Not real pain just stings a bit. However, each person's 'pain' threshold is different. The second one is made by Roche Diagnostics Ltd ansd is an Accu-Chek Multiclix. This is superb. Well designed and as far as I am concerned pain free. It is considered one of the best on the market. I started by setting it to it's lowest depth and then just moved up a notch until I was able to get the right amount of blood with no pain at all on the No 2 setting. You have to find the lowest setting you can. As ihs states, always prick the side of the fingertips, NEVER use the pads. That is where you will get pain. No manufacturer recommends that method anyway. Ken [/QUOTE]
