[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1565756, member: 374531"] Some people report that a "bleeder" is actually more accurate but I'm not sure if it's an urban myth! It generally only happens once in a while, if the insertion needle happens to hit a slightly larger clump of capillaries than normal, the way you might get a twinge if a needle goes into a clump of nerve cells. I've used about 30 sensors now, only had one where blood came through the hole on top of the sensor. There'll normally be a small amount of congealed blood underneath sensors when removed, sounds as if you might just have hit a clump of small blood vessels. Good luck, they're a great bit of kit once you get used to them! [/QUOTE]
