multi-tasking

Can you hold a normal conversation with someone when you are doing a bloodtest, dialling your dose(s) on your pen(s), recording your (incredibly interesting) data meanwhile?
I can't!
If I try, I end up wasting a teststrip because the meter shuts itself off. (I know I can keep the meter alive by clicking, but that's an added distraction.) I'm a woman and I know I should be able to multi-task!
So how shall I ignore interruptions? What do you do?
Do you try to multi-task? Do a bloodtest while playing the piano, making scrambled egg, sending a text ...?

Haha in my house I have no choice but multitask while BG testing 2 very active kids under 3 make testing an work of art. If they're not attempting to kill each other their pulling my legs this way and that shouting mum at 1000 decibels trying to show me something. I won't lie it has led to a fair few wasted strips and a couple of badly times hypos but hey ho what can you do? Lol

Exactly! They couldn't use me on a training video for how to do blood tests!
