how to get enough blood?
Take the following actions to ensure you obtain enough blood:
Run warm water over your hands before obtaining blood to increase blood flow. Be sure to dry hands completely.
Improve blood flow to the fingers by warming them.
Lower hands below your waist level and gently massage the selected finger before obtaining blood.
Press the lancing device firmly against the side of your fingertip.
After lancing, massage your finger towards the tip to encourage a blood drop to form.
If all of the above steps are insufficient, increase the penetration depth of the lancet device by rotating the cap one step at a time.
