scarred fingers from blood testing

[aymes]

I don't think I've changed my lancet since the last time we discussed the topic, I'll use this as my remidner for doing it tonight!

I too get the irritating little black dots. My index finger on my left hand has typically been my favourite testing finger and I development a perfectly round patch of dry skin on it. I've not let myself use that finger for about four months now, used lots of moisturiser but it's not improved in all that time, think it might be a permanent fixture now, sigh...

It took me a while to get used to using my little fingers, but I do prefer them now as they get least used for anything else (even typing!)🙂

I have never used my little finger before but after reading your reply thought id give it a go well i stabbed my finger blood came out instantly which was great so then i carried on cooking the tea and then noticed my finger was running with blood i thought i was going to have to have a stitch in it lol😱
