[QUOTE="carraway, post: 486161, member: 78843"] Hiya Firstly wash your hands! A tiny bit of something can influence your blood levels. Try the sides of your fingers, male sure your hands are warm. Needle depth varies. I use setting 2, if you have tough skin you may need a higher number. Point your finger down so gravity can help and squeeze a tiny bit onto the already waiting strip. test before you eat drink in the morning, before meals and 2 hours later. Keep some notes and you can see what you eat will have influence on what 'score' you get. You will get the hang of it and eventually you may not to test so much as you will know what you are eating and how it will effect you. Good luck [/QUOTE]
