Had my first "squirter" today haha!

Well after a couple intense games of basketball I went in the locker room to check my BS. The first finger prick I did I didn't get enough blood for a reading so I tried a different finger. I squeezed it a little and WHOOSH blood went everywhere! It was funny and awesome! I don't think anyone saw it... good thing for that. But really it was sweet it went like 2 feet in the air all over my face and my glucometer and my hands I was impressed. I read about these a little bit on here the other day... and today I got my first after about 700 tests. What causes these? How often do you get them?

I'm really proud of myself
