Efficient method to get blood out of a finger

Can you not inject some yeast to take care of the sugar? It'll get turned into alcohol and you'll get drunk. Win win!
 
Not looking good so far

That is bad.

I thought my 6.9 was not ok.

Hope you get it down.
 
My diabetes is out of control, I've had my full knee replacement cancelled 4 times (3 for diabetes) and now have to use a wheelchair.
Before I'm allowed to inject myself with insulin I've got to use my glucose monitor but my problem is even with the needle device on full power not enough blood comes out and I can end up pricking myself 4 times which then hurts a bit.

All serious and joke replies welcome to get a tiny sample of blood.

Jump into a car shredder, a small amount of blood then can then easily be extracted at the bottom, whilst you wait for the results, the simply once you've gone through the machine just dust yourself off and walk away.
 
If anybody is interested I sent the results to the Diabetic Nurse and I've been put on a tablet called Jardiance (Empagliflozin).
I took the first yesterday and my reading this morning is 5.3 :)
I've also been told that I will lose weight because this takes all the sugar out of my body through my urine but I will be pee'ing a lot, I went about every 30 minutes yesterday evening.

And taking blood is easy now with an elastic band, I don't even feel the ***** because it's wound round my finger that tight.

Update
Fancy editing that word out when it's used in the correct context :)
I do know how to bypass it.
 
I could direct you to a work colleague of mine...he's ten times the ***** you could ever need.
 
If you're having issues with the pen and strips you could ask for an implant sensor and you can just scan your arm with your phone.
 
Hope you get it sorted out.

Less seriously, for some reason I thought of Reg Prescott the other day and wondered whether a spot of DIY might help with getting a blood sample.
