[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2362378, member: 465882"] Just came across a post on the Medtronic pump users Facebook page regarding differences between the SG & BG reading for pump users. Supposedly when doing a finger blood test, you should never need to squeeze the finger to draw blood. The prick should be deep enough so that the blood is easily drawn and put onto the lancet. The theory is squeezing the finger can give an increased BG reading? Interestingly a lot of people in the comments agree with the poster. Personally I always need to squeeze for a blood sample, i always have my device on a low setting to help my finger tips. Suppose it’s worth a try to see if I can increase accuracy between BG & SG. Unfortunately the poster couldn’t find the link that he had read or I would of posted it, Does anyone else put this into practise? [/QUOTE]
