[QUOTE="cugila, post: 86005, member: 15325"] Can only suggest that you try using your three outer fingers, not your index finger as that is not usually recommended, and press the thumb onto the finger forming a pad at the side of the finger. Then click the lancet into that fleshy pad formed at the side of the finger. Before you try to get blood make sure you rub your hands briskly together to stimulate the circulation. Hope that helps ? Ken Just seen Handr's post, if you want to use AST (Alternative Site Testing) please discuss with your GP as it is not considered as accurate for instant readings. [/QUOTE]
