Which finger is best for lancet?

What is the least painful lancet?

The finer and narrower the needle, the less painful it is in use. Oddly, higher gauge numbers indicate finer and narrower needles, while lower gauge numbers indicate heavier, thicker needles. So a 33G lancet is thinner and more desirable than a 30G lancet. It is best to use a new, sterile lancet with each jab.
