a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same spot may
cause soreness and calluses. • Avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins to avoid
excessive bleeding. • It is recommended to discard the first drop of blood as it might
contain tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
