Black Compact

Need Help! Accu check compact plus, finger on black strip help!?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I have to start poking myself 4 times a day each day. I am DEATHLY afraid of needles and the sort. (Went throught therapy about 4 years ago.) I’ve bought the accu check compact plus but I’m having problems. My husband tested it last night and went through 5 strips figuring it out for me. I went through it twice (with his help.) He can’t be here all the time though and I’ve done it twice this morning, getting error both times. Do I need to cover the strip in blood? Do I hold my finger below the black part of the strip on the meter or do I hold it on the top of the black strip? Can I smother the strip on the bottom and sides or is that too much movement that will lead to an error? Any advice, ANY advice is welcome. I’ve gone through three strips this morning alone and I still need to eat! (this is just the first part.)

The white area needs to be totally covered in blood for it to register and do the test. Get a drop of blood going that is about the size of a small peppercorn and don’t touch your finger to the entry area, just allow the drop of blood to touch and it will suck it in. If you’re not getting a big enough drop of blood, adjust the lancet device one notch at a time to penetrate a little deeper. You’ll get the hang of it. I’m still needle-phobic, too, but I managed over the years to psych myself out that those and my syringes weren’t really needles!
