| Tips and Tricks OK...I'm sure that those among us that have had the big D for a while have come up with some tips & tricks that you figured out yourself, or some other diabetic told you. Well here's your chance to share with the rest of us.
Me first - You've just stuck your finger, tested your blood and now have a finger with a drop of blood on it. What do you do, wipe it on your pants, whip out your hanky? Here's what I do (& I'll bet some other of you too!): I use a square of toilet paper folded twice (into eighths), dab the blood, fold it again & apply pressure for a few seconds. I have a roll near my bed (where I test at home) and one in my desk at work. I also have 4 or 5 folded up in a little plastic bag in my meter's case.
OK, that wasn't too exciting, so tell us your tips, ya know ya wanta...
