Hey everyone,
I'm getting increasingly annoyed with my fingers atm - I'm doing roughly 6-10 BMs a day (BIG progress from, erm, 0 a day
) but am finding it really hard to get blood out of them now.
I've tried alternating the strength/depth of the lancet, warming up my fingers, massaging them to increase the circulation, changing the lancets (I seem to have a random collection from previous machines!).
The Accu Chek muticlix one used to work quite well, but now it's becoming a struggle even with that.
Anyone got any tips? I used to have a rather strange contraption that you could use on your forearm, a huge monitor that vacuummed your skin up, pricked it, then released the suction, but I was only a guinea pig for that and it had to be sent back, else I'd try that again :lol:
Any ideas welcomed and tested!
