Tips On Using A Blood Glucose Meter
Tuesday, February 4, 2014
Great tips and tricks on using a blood glucose meter, from Consumer Reports:- Wash your hands with warm water to dilate your blood vessels and dry your hands briskly and thoroughly with a towel.
- Snap your fingers to increase the blood flow to your fingertips.
- Skip alcohol wipes or hand cleansers before the finger stick. They can interfere with the formation of a neat, rounded droplet of blood.
- Avoid picking a favorite finger. Use different fingers and even parts of the fingertip, in order to avoid eventual callus formation.
- Support your finger against a solid surface such as a wall or desk when using the lancet device.
