[QUOTE="Sugarmole_, post: 1907202, member: 184509"] If you use just 3 fingers and both sides of each you will have 12 sites to use in rotation. The index fingers and thumbs tend to be used for other, more delicate reasons (holding things and touch etc.) and could cause a bit more pain/issues if used for testing. I use a lancing device (Contour Next One) set to "1", 4-5 times a day. While I don't particularly like testing it is no more than a half a second of mild discomfort. If you continue having problems ask you diabetic nurse/doctor and they'll should sort it for you. After all they have probably heard the problem before and know alternatives that can work for you.
