Blood squirted out from pricking finger.

This has happened to me a few times, always when I least expect it. white walls bad idea.
 
This happens on a certain spot on both ring fingers.
I think there must be major arteries in there, very close under the skin!
Never happens anywhere else.

The first time, I sprayed an A4 sheet of paper. Very exciting, but no witnesses.
 
This just happened to me too! Unlike others here though my BG was high ( have had a very carb heavy naughty day ) 10.1 ...was a little disturbing to say the least!

The paper witnessed it! She done it, honest guv.

I am on blood thinners, but I've been lucky so far. too much sticky sugar in my blood. And I've dropped my BP this last year.
 
Yep, arterial spray, 9am start of the working day all over my white flippen blouse. Happened the other night when my cgm went off and I checked all over the bed sheet and hit me in the face. My partner was on nights and I got a text in work the next day asking me where I'd hidden the body.
Once in a posh restaurant. Discretely under the table and ended up spraying all over the push white table cloth half way across the table. Then there was the time ............
 
It actually just happened to me... Maybe high blood pressure, idk and yes very weird...
 
Sometimes it is literally like trying to get blood out of stone with me! Perhaps a lot of my issues at the moment are due to being dehydrated, even though I think I am well hydrated.
 
The same thing happed to me this morning. Weird!!!
