I think it's an automatic reaction to having a prick in ur finger

I most often lick but sometimes I smear it to over my fingers (esp if it is a small amount and it wouldn't be enough for a good strong taste)

@daisy1 is that only your blood you don't like the thought of licking? I assume you are not into vampire novels then

hehehe

I use a small piece of tissue, wrap up my strip and lancet and put it in my sharps box.

Lick when I'm on my own, but try to remember to use a tissue in public, lol.

Tissue - I must be weird 'cos it's never occurred to me to do anything else.

Lick it? Nah, suck it! I get more protein that way.

My younger brother developed type 1 when he was 2, back in 1987, as opposed to me when I was 15, back in 1999........and so I must of picked up the licking the blood away habit from him......

Do you think that is how some people lick and other use a tissue/wipe........?

What other factors could be involved....?

... haven't changed mine in months... I only change it when starts to hurt too much!..

Always lick the blood off and if there's no blood I change the lancet.

I new lancet draws blood on no3 for me. When it fails to pierce the skin after repeated attempts at no6 I think about changing it :-/
