With the following 5 tips, you are most likely to be able to take your blood sample like a pro:

  • Warm your hand under very warm water for 3-4 minutes or take a bath / hot shower before taking your sample

  • Firmly press the back of your finger to a stable surface like a table when making a cut with the lancet

  • Press the lancet firmly against your finger

  • Stand, with your arm hanging down, so that gravity can also do its work

  • Release pressure on your finger tip after every drop of blood and wait for 10-15 seconds before applying pressure again. This way, you make sure that more blood can flow into your finger tip.
