Puncture level set at (1), but still fine tuning amount of pressure to apply. Diff. fingers seem to vary bleedability.

It can lead to "risky delays of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia detection." Like you, I used the FreeStyle Flash on my arm for over a year -- till I realized that I wasn't getting accurate enough numbers. Back to the fingers now. If you keep the penetration level of the lancet low, it doesn't hurt that much. Good luck, Amy Hi Scott,
