[QUOTE="Chronicle_Cat, post: 1984269, member: 486327"] I've also had this issue. For me, drinking enough water is key. For the morning fasting, I drink when i go to bed, drink again when I get up to go the washroom. If I sleep through the night, I have a more difficult time the next morning. As well, if I'm having a hard time, I soak the finger in hot water before trying to get blood. I don't put the strip in the meter (get it out of the tub first) until I have a good sized drop so I don't waste a test strip because the time expires. I also find it slightly easily to get blood out of towards to the side of the fingers on the back of the hand (avoiding the knuckles) rather than the side of the fingers on the palm side. [/QUOTE]
