There are a few ways you can improve blood flow and make blood sugar checks easier:

• Warm your fingers by washing with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.
• Let your arm hang down at your side to increase blood flow to the fingertips.
• Grasp finger just below the joint closest to the fingertip and "milk" or massage gently toward tip of finger, then squeeze for 3 seconds.
• Use an Accu-Chek lancing device set to the right Comfort Dial setting for your skin type. Refer to your User's Guide for additional information.
