Getting a blood sample
Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same
spot may cause soreness and calluses.
If bruising occurs at an alternate site or you have difficulty getting a sample, consider
sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to review the choice of sites with your
healthcare professional.
Preparing your sample site
Before you test your blood glucose, wash your hands and forearm
(if applicable) thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
