[Diabetes-Talk] Newly diagnosed with blood sugar testing concerns

[Jude DaShiell]

Massage the hand and fingers a few seconds before testing and make sure
you drank some water before testing.  That may help with production.  If
fingers are cold, capillaries are not going to be willing to donate.
Another possibility may be to wear warm mittens for a while beforre
testing since these will warm the hands and mittens work better than
gloves since fingers are together and warm each other.
