Question Questions about sticking my finger for the blood test


I am trying to get blood out of my fingers for the finger stick - glucose testing. I can't. Nothing. I "milk" my fingers - nothing. I run warm water over them. Nothing. So I changed up, and I got a AccurCheck lancet. It lets you lance your hands, forearms, legs, and so on. Well, it works very well, but no blood will come out. So I have been using my toes. I called my doc and she read me the riot act. I am back to the beginning. Any ideas? Yes, I am using the highest no. for the deepest cut.

My one forearm is very scarred up from where I tried to lance it before. I have tried to cover up the scars with lotion to try to heal the wounds, but nothing seems to work on that either. I am using Neosporin now. But the scars are still there. And my fingers are callased.
