This is a very good video especially for beginners and for those of us who need reminders. On the video it said not to squeeze the blood out of the finger tip for a more accurate reading. When in the ER or hospital, they squeeze and wipe away blood and squeeze again. It is more painful that way and I usually bruise more that way.
Thank you for submitting.

I always hear that you are not supposed to squeeze your finger, but if I don't, I never get enough blood.

It's the only way you know if there is anything wrong,especially when you have no physical alerts. This way you can call your Doctor for advice!

This video was very infomative. I learned a lot more from this than reading my meters instructions.
