[QUOTE="Jasmin2000, post: 2687457, member: 582816"] I was told to avoid this because it tends to decrease the BG reading. The logic is that you're contaminating the blood with interstitial fluid, which usually has a lower glucose content because it hasn't yet seen the glucose in the blood - so it's diluting your blood. Anyways, it's unlikely to make a huge difference if you squeeze. [/QUOTE]
