[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1042143, member: 93179"] If you can, adjust the depth setting for the lancet - use the minimum that will draw enough blood for the test, and that should help. You may have to do a bit of trial & error, but start with a fairly low setting and work up or down till you feel comfortable. (If you re-use your lancets yo may have to re-adjust if they start to get blunt and therefore give more painful pricks again.) HTH, Robbity PS Some meters allow for alternative site testing, but you may need to get an adaptor of sorts to be able to do rhis. Your meter manual should have information if the manufacturers offer this option. Or you could check their website. [/QUOTE]
