[Diabetes-talk] loading test strip problem

[Mike Freeman]

I suspect that's more work than it's worth.  If you can't find the puncture
site with the strip or smear the blood, you'll do the same with a pipette.

Just keep practicing; try holding your hand still with the finger lying
flat, testing surface up, do the puncture and then bring the meter to the
strip so the blood doesn't smear.

A friend suggested a solution that may work and I'm sharing it here in the
hopes it will help others too. After the lancet is used, use a pipette to
draw up some blood from the puncture made by the lancet.  Then position the
pipette so it will put blood into the test strip.  That I think I can do.
I'lll find out later this week and let the list know what happened.  
So far this week I've attempted six readings and failed at five of them. 
Today for me is a 9 universal essence crossing day so today I'm the bug not
the windshield.
