Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sid Bonkers" data-source="post: 1401205" data-attributes="member: 19121">You shouldnt squeeze to get blood out as squeezing does something to the blood and gives a less accurate reading and you should always use the first drop of blood, it may be more favorable to wipe and squeeze but its a lot less accurate.I cant remember the reason for this but it is a fact, there was a member who used to give the reason for this but she doesnt post here any more but its a topic that has come up on numerous occasions.You should reset your lancet a little deeper and there will be no need to squeeze at all and that is the way to get the most accurate reading and always use the first and freshest drop of blood.</blockquote>
