[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 778604, member: 88961"] When I started, I used to place the lancing device fairly solidly where I wanted to draw blood. It always worked, but could be a little brutal.. Now I hold the lancing device so that its just touching the skin, and certainly not making any impression on the surface. Press the button = clicking noise and teenie, tiny spec of blood appears, which I wipe away, gently press lower down the finger to help the droplet form, and use that to test. It's much more gentle.
