Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 hi listers. I live in the new york area and I am sort of new to this diabetic thing. I know I shold be checking my blood even though I am a type 2. my doctor is pushing me to do this but I am afraid of needles, and I want to check it but I am afraid of the pain. if some one could contact me off list who lives in new york I would greatly apprciate it. I need help in checking my blood not help but suggestions on the best way of not having the pain, because my fingerds are very sensative. thanks so much Angel.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 It is much better to prick your finger, than to have to give yourself a needle every day. Some have to take a lot more needles than that. There is usually a dial on the lancet holder, where you can make the poke less noticeable. Vicky would like some help please. hi listers.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Try pricking the finger on the side, rather than the tip. If you warm your finger, it hurts less. After a few tries, it is hardly noticeable! would like some help please. > > hi listers. > I live in the new york area and I am sort of new to this diabetic thing. > I know I shold be checking my blood even though I am a type 2. my doctor > is pushing me to do this but I am afraid of needles, and I want to check > it but I am afraid of the pain. if some one could contact me off list who > lives in new york I would greatly apprciate it.
