And Remember the following 6 things...
1. Do your test Monday to Friday and make sure you post it the same day. We recommend mornings.
2. Drink a glass of water before to ensure you are well hydrated.
3. Make sure your hand is really nice and hot; the best time to do it is after a hot shower. Alternatively, make sure you soak it in hot water for a couple of minutes. You should aim to minimise the time between warming your hand and using the lancet, the heat will increase the blood flow and make the process easier.
4. Collecting your sample should take under five minutes. if the flow stops or if you're struggling to fill the tube to the required level, it is important that you re-pierce with a spare lancet.
5. Make sure you don't squeese your finger on the actual piercing.
6. Invert the tube gently ten times after filling it. Do not shake aggressively.
