I recently saw an ad for a blood sugar sampling method that promises "less pain"! Well, if you want "less pain", then avoid the fingers and sample off your forearms or tops of your thighs. Just realize that the pain induced is quite trivial and easily ignored (this from someone who flinches when his finger is "pricked"!)
This ad just seems like explotation to me.
As an aside, you can't tell where my brother-in-law Jack Q. is testing his blood just by looking at his forearms...
I guess my "secret" is fairly safe. (Secret? With the exception of my side of the family, my diabetes is known to everyone who matters to me...)
