[Diabetes-talk] Hello and question about finger pricking

[Veronica Elsea]

Hi Ronit and welcome to the list. Joyce and Paul gave you excellent 
hints. But I do think it's important to add that what you described 
is in fact a part of our every-day testing experience. Sometimes 
despite best efforts, that blood will run down your finger before you 
get it to the strip. Sometimes there just won't be any blood when you 
go over to the strip and the only way to know is to play around for 
awhile with no results, then start over. As everyone has said so far, 
most of the time things go quite well. But be realistic and be nice 
to yourself about this. There will be frustrating moments and just 
know that it's not just you. <grin.>
And of course, may your hard work pay off in the joys of a wonderful 
pregnancy and the future with a beautiful child. Keep that with you 
and I bet you'll do great! Feel free to chime in here any time.
