[acb-diabetics] is it my meter or the strips?

[Bonnie]

hi list,

barb, i have my days when i just can't bleed, if you can believe that. 
you may wish to replace your meter anyway, but i have a personal rule 
that if i have to use that lancet three times in a row, i forget about 
it till later.  i shouldn't do that, but i don't care--it hurts.  it 
happens.  just make sure you prick the finger in the cushiony part.  an 
educator told me that.  make sure your lancet is sharp.  JMO
