can anyone give me pointers in taking my blood glucose? I really hate needles!

Just take a deep breath and poke your finger. Theres no real tips or tricks to doing it. :/

I do it for the first time in like an hour and I'm dreading it so much :( @talbottgirl

Yeah. just maybe count to three and poke. don't poke the middle of your finger it'll hurt for days, nor too close to your knuckle

It's just a little poke. You'll get used to it pretty quick.

Poke off to the side but to far off to the side. Thats where my dr pokes me when they have to.

poke closer your nail, it's less painful or on the side.

thanks guys! I just did it the first time and I took all your advice and it really wasn't as bad as I thought 😅 @darianweaver @mamabearto2cubs @serrano_girl @talbottgirl

@sadiej if you have questions or anything feel free to message me. I've been at this for a few months now lol thankfully I only have like 2 weeks left.

yay!
