As for being sensitive, in time you really don't pay that much attention to it...and none of them should make you see a lot of blood.
When sticking, make sure to stick the sides of your fingers rather than the fleshy pads, as it hurts less. Also, experiement with testing on your forearm, as its less sensitive, but if you get an "off" reading, high or low, follow up with a finger stick, as the finger stick is felt to be the most accurate.
