Can you squeeze your finger when measuring blood sugar on a blood glucose meter?

It is best to move the fingers before blood collection, shake the arm, and naturally droop to let the blood flow back to the fingertips. Hard squeezing out of the plasma will be abundant, affecting the measurement.

Hello, I am your health consultant, you can squeeze, it is best to remove the first drop of blood and measure the second drop when measuring blood sugar on the blood glucose meter.

It doesn't matter if you squeeze your fingers to squeeze the blood out, it's just best to test the second drop of blood, I hope my reply will be helpful to you.

Hello! Blood collection: patients should not squeeze their fingertips to obtain blood droplets during and after blood collection, if it is indeed difficult to automatically form a full round blood drop each time the blood is collected, sugar friends can put their hands down for 15 seconds before blood collection, and the blood will be more concentrated at the fingertips under the action of gravity, and then the blood collection will be smoother.

Wishing you good health!

Hello, judging from the situation you described, the situation you said should be to measure blood sugar by yourself, and it is best not to squeeze the bleeding with your hands to measure blood sugar, which will have a certain impact on the test results.

However, most of the blood collection needles are relatively small, and the general bleeding is not too much, so there are more cases of bleeding by squeezing with fingers, and the impact of scarcity on blood sugar values is relatively small, I hope it can help you, I wish you health.

When sugar friends self-test their blood sugar, they should make preparations before collecting blood. Specific steps:

1. Wash your hands with soapy water or warm water (especially the blood collection site such as the side of your fingers) and dry them with a clean napkin or cotton ball.

2. Hang your arm down for 10 to 15 seconds before blood collection to make your fingertips bloody.

3. Disinfect the fingertips with 75% alcohol (the ring fingers are mostly used, because of their abundant blood vessels and less distribution of nerve endings, not only is it not painful but also the bleeding is sufficient), and it is allowed to dry.

4. Turn on the switch of the blood glucose meter, take out a test strip and insert it into the machine, (fingers should not touch the test strip test area).

5. The blood collection pen is close to the fingertips, press the spring switch, prick the fingertips, and detect the blood sugar value. It is not advisable to squeeze your finger too hard to obtain a blood sample, so as not to affect the blood glucose result.

Yes, blood must be used to measure blood sugar, your own blood glucose meter and pharmacy are almost the same, the use of procedures is the same, you must pay attention to hygiene at home to prevent infection.

Squeeze the blood out of your hands, of course!

When collecting blood, it should be noted that blood can only be collected when the sign of drippable blood on the blood glucose meter appears, otherwise the result will not be displayed; When taking the test strip, do not touch the blood collection area with your fingers; The amount of blood collected will also affect the results, blood collection should allow the test strip to suck up the blood at one time, and the appropriate amount of blood should be collected at one time, and excessive or insufficient blood volume will affect the results. It is also necessary to pay attention to the depth of the puncture, such as the fear of pain and the shallow puncture of the needle, the collected specimens are often insufficient, which is easy to cause low blood sugar.

The end of the ring finger should be preferred for monitoring finger capillary glucose. The blood collection site is generally the tip of the finger, the palm of the hand is downward when collecting blood, the finger is below, the rest of the fingers are upturned, and the puncture point should be at the lowest point of the finger, so that the blood beads and the finger form a section. It should be noted that blood should be taken relative to the fingertips of one finger for a period of time to accurately determine blood glucose values.

After the blood collection is completed, it is sterilized with 75% alcohol**, in order to ensure the accuracy of the blood glucose value, the disinfection point is completely dried and punctured with a disposable needle equipped with a blood glucose meter**2 3 mm, and the blood flows out naturally, so that the blood beads are consistent with the plot on the test strip.

If the amount of blood is insufficient, do not squeeze the finger area too hard. Start at the base of your fingers and push them towards your fingers.

There are probably the following reasons for different results at the same time for the same hand:

1.The amount of blood collected on two occasions is different (the amount of blood collected paper is different;

2.Blood is collected before it dries when alcohol is disinfected;

3.The timing of blood collection after finger prick is inconsistent. All of the above will affect blood sugar levels. Blood glucose values change with time, place, diet, exercise, etc., and it is safer to observe the changes in blood glucose values at home with blood glucose meter monitoring.

One of the convenient avenues, which is now also adopted by many hospitals, although there is a difference with venous blood drawing, however.

Eight, nine is not far from ten, regular hospitals also have the same results of different blood sugar values at the same time, as long as you do a good job of recording before and after, it is good to grasp the development of the disease, don't be in a hurry to take your time, I wish you health!
