Manual stabbing

3:00 in the morning, I woke up downstairs on the couch, feeling sweaty, hands tingling. Seems like a too time to check blood glucose. I looked around and I couldn't find my ... lancet? Lancer? Lancing device, whatever they're called.

I'd never thought about this happening before. Looked around for it a bit and didn't see it anywhere. I considered poking my finger with a knife but that seemed likely to get out of control.

Finally I figured iut I could take a new lancet and stab myself with it! Surprisingly this was actually was an improvement over the usual loaded spring/medieval catapult style thing. I didn't even feel it. Even better I scored 100 mg/dl 🕶️
