Faxne found this article very interesting and shared it with everyone over the weekend, so that everyone no longer has to worry about pricking their fingers! ---------------Gorgeous dividing line--------- --Have been sitting for almost an hour. The friend still didn't do anything. He played with the blood collection pen up and down, left and right in his hand, and made a "pop" sound in the air from time to time, but he just didn't dare to press it with his own finger.
Speaking of pricking your finger, it's actually not a big deal, but when you think about the cold needle pricking your finger, the fear from your heart immediately amplifies several times. I said let me help, and I guarantee you won’t feel any pain. But he is used to hurting me, and he is afraid that I will retaliate against him now. After another half hour, it may be impossible to put it off any longer. He frowned, observed it 360 degrees several times, and then tapped the air again. In order to relieve the pain, he quietly adjusted the needle to level 1. Then, finally, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stamped his feet... "Pa" - "Ah"... What's even more deceiving is: along with this scream, only a drop of blood the size of a decimal point emerged shyly on his finger - It’s not enough to measure blood sugar! In other words, this injection was for nothing. I asked again: Do you need help? Seeing him in shock but about to say anything, I knew it was my turn. I rolled up my sleeves and said, "Here, I'll teach you a trick on blood sugar monitoring that has been lost for a long time in the world." A unique trick," I said in a very slow tone while massaging his fingers. "Don't worry, I have pricked myself countless times and helped others prick many times. There were hundreds of needles before and after, and none of them screamed! It hurts! "Yes!" It was too late to say it, but it was so fast. When I came to the third to last word, I pressed the spring decisively, "pop-", and when he realized the true meaning of the last three words, he A drop of round blood appeared on the finger, and the sampling went very smoothly. After a few seconds, the blood glucose meter successfully output the value. The whole process went smoothly. The most important thing is that the blood collection pen was still on the 1st level. When the blood glucose monitoring was completed, He didn't feel any pain either. "How did you do it?" he started chasing me and asked. So, I told him this and that. The following is the detailed process:
1. After cleaning your fingers, use the thumb of the other hand to massage upward from the root of the finger. This is to squeeze the blood from the finger to the tip of the finger.
2. After you see that the color of the fingertip gradually turns red and darker, use the tiger's mouth of the other hand to pinch the first knuckle of the blood collection finger and push it up a little. You will see that the skin on the fingertip is plump and even swollen. stand up. There are two purposes for doing this. One is to fill the fingertips with blood. In this way, with the first gear of the needle, as long as there is a small wound, enough blood can be collected and the wound can be reduced. Second, it will cause a little numbness on the fingertips in a short period of time, indirectly transferring the feeling of the fingers, greatly reducing the pain, and even not feeling the pain!
3. The last step of inserting the needle is the easiest and most difficult part of this trick: holding one hand with the other, you need a third hand to release the blood collection needle, so this trick is more suitable for situations where there is help from others. It is best to choose the side of the finger for the needle insertion site, so that the wound on the finger will not affect your typing on the keyboard and other activities. If you want to practice this secret skill alone, you can also refer to the method mentioned in the picture below, which can also achieve the same effect.
