Hi, I am a T2 diabetic and have recently tried self testing using a new blood glucose machine I was given by a friend (my doctors refused to supply as they said my medication was under control), however I am taking 20mg of Rivaroxaban blood thinner and am finding that after pricking myself for the blood sample it takes me ages - at least 5 mins - to stop bleeding. Does anyone else have this issue or am I doing something wrong?
