@mike I have been using the back ie the police fingerprint side and also along the sides. I will attempt to be more ambidextrous than at present and search out less leathery bits
@alison I will definately try a bit of gorilla style arm swinging next test to force my blood to the ends. It may well be a combination of blood flow and rhino skin as I have got nerve damage down my arms after a frozen shoulder operation went wrong and my fingers are always freezing.
I have been using the Bayer Contour Link since using cgm as it sends the results to my pump and yes I really am that lazy that I can’t be bothered to press one button to calibrate the sensor if I use a different meter. Perhaps I should swap to a meter that gives extra time to top up the sample and try a more savage lancing device that really gives me a good prod.
