Stuck myself with lancet

[123joan]

Nice going. After testing Lucy, I stuck myself with the lancet! Just a teeny prick. Should I be worried? About me, for once, not Lucy! She had a nice reading of 83, hasn't been on insulin since last summer. We are so fortunate. I just check occasionally.

nope

Love it! Thank you!

Nah, long as she's had her shots.... LOL.
Just clean the site good w/ soap and water and put some Neosporin on it.
T'would be much more worrisome if it had been used by a human first.

I feel ya gal... LOL
I been sticking people for near 40 years and got my worst wound from the 18 guage I was using to do sub q fluids on my poor Sam last year. I went right through his skin and into my finger.
I bled like a stuck pig and felt like an idiot. :lol:
BTW, Nusiance is just beautiful! I've never heard them called "funny face" before but it sure is fitting
Hugz,

If you are really worried, you can have some chocolate to help you feel better. :mrgreen:

Just be sure to perform a BG test on yourself from the resulting blood drop on your finger !

 

[swandiver]

Yeah, I did a sub-Q needle stick once, too, with the same stuck-pig result! I figure we're all going to stick ourselves every now and then!

Yeah, I did a sub-Q needle stick once, too, with the same stuck-pig result! I figure we're all going to stick ourselves every now and then!

Me too! I'm amazed Grayson doesn't bleed when the needle comes out, cuz I sure did!

Also got a prick from one of those kitty brushes. OUCH!!! It was right after Grayson was DX'ed, so I came in and tested my blood! Apparently, I'm not as sweet as he is! :lol:

...and I definitely think the chocolate will help minimize any risks.

Oooohhhh....
Choklit is always the best for what ails ya!!!
I keep an emergency supply on hand at all times.

I've had countless lancet sticks and a couple of "thru and thru" shots when *shudder* I manged to go all the way thru the tent of skin and into my hand.
Then I found the shorter needles. Those things are a godsend!

I stuck myself several times, and always used the opportunity to test myself. I swear I could hear Bob chuckle every time I did it.
Then he stopped thinking it was funny when I ate one of his post test shrimps.
