[QUOTE="Gloucestergirl, post: 2202980, member: 54959"] I agree with Hopeful34, I prick my finger then put the pricker back in the case and by that time the hole has opened up so it's no problem squeezing out the blood. One thing I was told after many years of pricking was to wipe away the first spot of blood because there will be fluid in it which will affect the reading, I wonder if anyone else has been told this as whenever I'd had my finger pricked by a nurse etc. they always take the first spot of blood.
