Self-testing whine from Cathy

Even though it is completely against my self-preservation instincts to deliberately do something that I know is going to hurt, I test my blood several times a day. It is easy to do and the noise of the testing pen going pop is probably the worst part (I still jump a bit each time I hear it). I do get really annoyed if I don't have the pen close enough to get a good break in the skin and end up making a second hole in my finger. Seeing all the teeny marks on my fingers is a little depressing and I do find myself feeling each finger to pick the least sore before each test.
