[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2138338, member: 503481"] Hmm, a tricky one, but as a female that loves doing her nails, one hand blood testing had to be used so one hand could dry first. I have big thick thighs so I would stick my blood meter in between them with the strip inserter facing up. If you test strips come in those plastic pots, you open the lid and shake or tip the strips gently into the plastic lid, usually three comes out at once, then you pick one up and stick it in the meter. Then when you tip the pot back, the strips will fall back in when you close the lid. As for the finger pricker, if it’s the drag and push a button type, you use your thighs to hold to pull it back, then lay it flat on the desk, you should be able to use your fingers to hold it in place, with your finger pad that you are using and push the button. It might be tricky, but it does work. However freestyle libre might be useful until he recovers fully. [/QUOTE]
