Q: Getting An Accurate Reading

When I take my blood to test the blood sugar level, I get enough blood for the reading to register. But I don't really even feel the needle; it doesn't hurt. Could that effect the accuracy of my reading?

Hahahaha, no, I don't think feeling pain has anything to do with anything.

Once you get enough blood to test you are good.

However, not feeling the needle could be a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency. Look it up online and see if you have any of the other symptoms.
