[QUOTE="MimT, post: 2687329, member: 585741"] I've read how you shouldn't squeeze your finger to get a drop of blood for an accurate glucose reading. I usually have to. Sometimes even when I do that there's not enough blood and I have to prick a different finger tip. I've tried setting the lance on the highest setting but even then I have to give a gentle squeeze. And the highest setting leaves a bruise. On a lower setting there's no bruise and I usually have to squeeze at least a little bit. Wondering what other people do. [/QUOTE]
