[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2093866, member: 374531"] Lol, LGC, now that you're using libre, get ready for a "bleeder"! Occasionally, the insertion needle will hit a cluster of capillaries/arterioles and you can get an impressive amount of blood coming out of the hole in the middle of the sensor, I once ruined a white shirt that way by not noticing it before I put the shirt on. The amount of blood can look quite dramatic but it settles down ok within a few minutes, and many say a bleeder is a better reader. [/QUOTE]
