4. There are new machines that allow you to test on your forearm |
|
because they require a lot less blood. I agree that the fingertip testers are barbaric. I hated using them in the hospital. Sandia National Lab has been working for years on an optical tester. If someone else has managed to do it first, that's great. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1237636/A-new-pain-free-blood-sugar-test-gauge-blood-glucose-levels-pricking-skin.html

2. You can prick your finger |
|
but don't finger your prick! Thanx, George Carlin!
Any device or procedure that reduces pain gets my approval!
