Less Ouch In Testing Your Blood

I’m sure everyone hates testing your blood as much as I do.  If you tell Missy Moo that she is getting her blood tested – she will freak right out.  Screaming too! hahha!!  Yes !  I know I have to test my blood daily but I sure hate it with a passion.  Not that it is very painful – but pain is pain right?
As far as I know the only way to take the ouch out of testing your blood sugar is to not test – but like all diabetics – we have to test it at least 3 times a day or sometimes more. I don’t mind seeing the blood – but the pricking the finger is what annoys me much!  In the beginning I had to ask Mr Moo to prick my fingers for me – but now I can do it myself – but I hate it.
They say to prick at the side of your fingers – but for me – it still hurts.  I do try using different fingers and different spots on each day – but it still hurts.  I haven’t tried using tea tree oil on the pricked spot because I’m always typing and working on the computer – but i should try that – if it helps to heal better.  So if anyone out there has a great machine or better tips – let me know eh.
