I have not tried my Contour since I got it. I'm used to the FreeStyle.
Try touching some Vasoline and rubbing it on the side of a toe, Just
enough to give it an oily coating. Then set your lancet all the way out,
5 I think. Click on the oiled toe side and you should be able to get a
ball of blood big enough to read the BG. Squeeze the foot and toe to
force the blood out. I'm not a vet.
