[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1984267, member: 216415"] I can only give you the standard advice: Wash hands in hot water (dry properly afterwards). Try the middle setting in case you are going shallower rather than deeper. Hold the end of the pricker up to your finger, don't press hard. I prick the tip of my finger in the middle of the fingerprint just a bit to the side. Sometimes I have to squeeze my finger a bit to get enough blood. Stick the end of the strip in the blob of blood. It is difficult to describe what is a sufficient amount of blood but it is not very much, maybe the size of the ball of a ballpoint pen. [/QUOTE]
