Try dialing the lancer to a 2, not a 5. The numbers refer to the depth of the lancet puncture. You can "milk" the drop of blood by massaging the poked finger, you can also put the punctured hand downward and massage the blood down. If she's needing insulin, her numbers were high - even after a meal, check her glucose before eating so you can adjust her meal portion and to see if she needs her insulin. Please talk with her doctor and pharmacist. Ask questions, they can help you! I check my mom's blood every morning and I manage my own diabeties. I even took a training when my mom had to check her blood thinner meds through a blood sample - a lot like checking her glucose level. Make sure you track her glucose levels. The machine will keep track, too, but it's a good thing to have a hard copy. I made my mom a tracker for her health and it's handy when she gets a home visit, orwhen she goes into the doctor's office. You'll be surprised how many times the nurse/doctor will ask when the last bm happened, or about her emotions, or diet, or whatever.
@@SernaAhlen thank you!! I'll show this to my dad also. She's currently back in the hospital unfortunately but I'm sure we will find your advice helpful.
