I showed my finger bruises to the DN recently and she got me two of the Acc-Check MultiClix pricking devices. I am testing between 4 -8 times a day for the past 4 weeks now since I started insulin.
It comes with little barrels with 6 needles in them at a time. Just push, click, prick and rotate to the next one ready for use.
Minimum pain, although if I have cold fingers it takes a little while longer to bring up the 'blob of blood' but well worth the change.
Unbelievable that since I was moved from the T2 to the T1 clinic the support has been endless! I've got 2 dieticians and a brilliantly helpful DN on direct tel no.s and email.
