신기하네요~ 미세하게 다르다니.. 저도 환자들 혈당 체크해줄때 궁금하긴 하더라구요~
Can blood sugar levels vary depending on which finger is used for blood sampling with a diabetes meter?
Can blood sugar levels vary depending on which finger is used for blood sampling?
If the finger contamination level differs, blood sugar readings may also vary.
It is also the reason why you should check your blood sugar after washing your hands thoroughly.
If you cannot wash your hands, another method is to prick with a needle, let a little blood flow, and then use a drop of blood that comes out later.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends using the middle or ring finger when performing blood sugar tests.
When checking blood sugar, it is most accurate to prick the side of the fingernail rather than the center of the fingertip, using moderate pressure to obtain a sufficient amount of blood for measurement.

I also measure my blood sugar every evening these days.
There's also a challenge, haha.
Which finger should I use?
Are you going to do it with a middle finger?
It's on the outer side of the nail edge.
It seems that location is also important.
