But suddenly . . . . ouch!! Each and every prick started hurting!! #soundsdirtybutisn’t The first time I thought “Well, yeah, sometimes they do just hurt”. The second time I thought maybe I had hit a nerve. The third time I thought I should make sure I wasn’t pricking the same exact spot over and over. The next few times I just ignored it. I knew I didn’t need to change my lancet, because I change it every morning. (Weird, I know, whatever.) Finally I had enough of the pain and looked at my lancing device.
What?? A depth setting of 4.5???? How ever did it get switched to 4.5??
Ahhhhh, that’s more like it. Back to comfortable finger-sticks. Well, relatively speaking - because it’s still puncturing my finger and making it bleed. Thank goodness for those aforementioned callouses!
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can see how that could make a difference! Glad it wasn't anything more serious.
ReplyDeleteI really couldn't be more impressed that you change the lancet everyday. I can't even wrap my mind around this. Amazingly impressive.
ReplyDeleteWow, very impressive you change your lancet every day!
ReplyDeleteWhen asked, I say that about 9 out of 10 sticks are essentially pain-free and the tenth one hurts like a mother. (With the latest lancing devices, my odds are better, but there's still the occasional outlier.)
ReplyDeleteI promise I did not bribe your cat to do that. (She wanted more tuna than I was willing to pay.)
