[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2197031, member: 400972"] Just a couple of tips for getting your drop of blood. Wash your hands in warm water first, soak them for a little while if particularly cold, hang your hand by your side before pricking it, this will encourage blood flow to the ends of your fingers. Check the depth setting on your lancing device you may need to set it a bit deeper and finally are you pricking the side of your finger beside your nail rather than centrally on the tip? Edit for typo [/QUOTE]
