Me too. My temperature is usually around 97.4. My husband's runs even lower.

How often do you change them? I talked to the One Touch people

tonight and he had me change it because the first time I pricked my

finger, no blood came out.

Are some fingers more sensative than others, because I am thinking

this finger is going to stay sore.

My diabetes nurse I see only wants me to prick my fingers for the

time being.

Prick the fleshy side of you finger. Before you do, " milk " your

finger a bit to get some blood into it first. There are fewer nerve

endings on the sides of your fingers and they won't hurt past the

initial prick.

Briskly rubbing the hands together prior to testing gets the blood circulating.

My index fingers are tougher, so I use a higher setting

on the pen when I prick them. Once in a while I don't get enough blood for the

test, so I have to stick myself a second time. Hey...I

just realized at this very moment that I rarely test on my THUMBS. Wonder why I

do that :-) ...Maybe today that's where I'll test.
