My fingers have calluses from finger testing and I was wondering what you would suggest to heal them or something.

heey so i'm a diabetic and i hate having those finger caluses too! they suck..but anyway umm for me it helps to kinda massage them and make sure they're "healthy" like not dry and stuff and keep them moisterized and try testing on other fingers that you haven't for a while for a while.. don't worry they'll heal and if that doesn't work ask your diabetic doctor-they probably have a solution

Use different parts of your body to prick and get the blood. I use my forearm sometimes. I also use the sides of my finger and not just the pad of the finger. Keep changing your location and you will be fine. I have had no problems with calluses anywhere. good luck

Aquaphor works wonders.It is usually with the lotions and comes in a tube.You can also use your toes.It isn't recommended to use your forearms or any where else as the blood isn't a reliable read.

Yes, I have them on my finger also. Whenever i get them, I just switch fingers (or hand) for a week or so until they heal them i go back to them again. i found doing that works well

I recommend Lucas Paw Paw ointment, it is a really good for almost anything, i heal really slow but Lucas Paw Paw ointment really speeds up the process because it not only moisturizes but it cleanses really well to prevent infection.
