A first for me used my thumb to do a test and I think it actually felt better than using my fingers.
Anyone else ok with doing there thumbs?View attachment 9117
No. You should not use your thumb or forefinger. You should have been told this by you H.C.P. the reason is that you use these fingers for most things and you could damage the nerves and loose feeling in them. This could cause you problems with dexterity. And of course, feeling things.
"NOT TO" there, said it, ............................and as Nuthead rightly said " You should not use your thumb or forefinger. You should have been told this by you H.C.P. the reason is that you use these fingers for most things and you could damage the nerves and loose feeling in them. This could cause you problems with dexterity. And of course, feeling things."
Some of my fingers are turning blue where I've pricked them, so starting to use the other hand now.
Never use thumbs and choose a different finger each time and as Nuthead said always the sides and not the pads as long term this might cause nerve damage. I have to test 4 times daily with multiple injections.
