Step 7
Get a round drop of blood
Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round
drop of blood of at least one microliter ( actual size) forms
on your fingertip.
If the blood smears or runs, do not use that sample. Wipe
the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or
puncture a new site.
Lancing and sampling from an alternate site
Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your fingertips less often. You
may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternate site is less painful than using
a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is different than getting
a sample from your fingertips.
