[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1571654"] In addition, I regularly change the fingers I prick to avoid a build up of bruising (even on the side of my finger). I do this by splitting my day into four (I use meals to break up the day) and use one finger for each period and then use left hand for odd dates and right hand for even dates. Most of the time this works fine. However, as I have Raynauds, there are times when my fingers refuse to give up blood and I *may* get a little frustrated and push harder which increases the chance of bruising wherever the prick goes in.
