Has anyone ever had the problem that when they test their BGs on one hand that they can't get any blood out of any finger but on the other hand it's fine??? Admittedly looking at the hundreds of holes in my fingers I seem to test more on my right hand but all of today I haven't been able to get any blood out of that hand 😱

Hope it's not a bad sign for my hba1c out of that side tomorrow!

When I was testing a whole lot more than I do now, sometimes I'd have to prick my finger a few times. I have given up testing for a while because of not being able to get any blood at all some days and that I was finding the finger pricking was getting particularly painful despite me having the finger pricker at the lowest setting suitable for me. I am not type 1 so not testing isn't the worst but I suppose it could be better. 😱
