I have small veins or difficult veins…

If you have small veins, be aware that the cold constricts your veins… which are already small! Our advice: keep your arms warm for about fifteen minutes before your blood test. Wear a fleece or long-sleeved shirt (yes, even in summer because of the air conditioning!). Also, regularly and vigorously rub the tops of your arms in the few minutes before your blood draw (over your clothes). This friction will generate heat and activate your blood circulation… a simple but very effective little secret!
