Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks! you guys are incredible! My wife had gastric by-pass surgery in September, she has lost 120 pounds. I think that the foods that will be good for me will be good for her as well. She is supposed to concentrate on proteins, and she has no stomach room for fillers, so it will be a win-win I hope. I read braille, and since my fingers are my eyes, I am not sticking needles in my eyes. I have nice big hairless areas on my arms and intend to use them.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I do understand your not wanting to prick your fingers but really, I play guitar and lots of other things with my fingers, and never have a problem. You just have to prick the sides of the fingers, not your tips. Tips you protect with your life so you can read braille smile. But the sides of your fingers, those you prick. Harry, can you please post that finger pricking pattern I have posted to the list like 300 times but never have kept the original post I wrote from scratch. LOL. thanks. My fingers never get sore following this pattern that many on list follow and those who check 6 or so times a day. BTW just hold onto it in case you ever do decide to prick your fingers. BTW the forearm testing units have a much higher level of inaccuracy and they claim this in the litature so please read that part in the instructions. Best has always been the fingers and they even claim that in the product documentation. Just a little FYI... Regards, Re: repost!
