band-aid mama

I started on my blood/glucose testing this morning - only once. Now i'm waiting to prick myself again 2 hours later (coz i just had my breakfast). It's gonna be 6 times a day. =(

This is the device (click) that i'm using. Doesnt look so scary here coz it doesnt show the other part which is used to prick your finger - to get that drop of blood! Haha! ;p

Actually, truth is, it's not that painful lah...just scary that i have to "pull the trigger" to shoot myself in the finger...and continue with the other steps. I also wonder if i should rotate among my 2 middle fingers (for the "2 hourly"-testing between meals). If i use all different fingers, 6 of my fingers will be band-aided at the end of the day! Aka Michael Jackson! Haha!
