I test alot too and my fingers occasionally peel. It is really annoying. Try using the lowest lancet setting and switching fingers each time you stick. I also read somewhere that if you warm your finger up first, by running them under some warm water, it can make it less painful. Just make sure to dry your fingers well afterwards. Hope this helps.

Which side of your fingers are you testing? I have found an easy and less painful way of testing on my fingers. Taking a look at the palm side of your hand, I always prick the right side of my fingers. It has helped so much! I still get the same amount of blood, and way less painful, too! Try it! :)
