does anybody know about the new blood meters that they are showing on

TV? My fingers are hurting so bad. If anybody know anything about it?

They say that it don't hurt so bad when you do it on your arm. If so,

I would like to know.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Beth, you can test on your arm with the meter you have got! What you

need, is a different lancet device. The diabetes society gave me a Bayer

Vaculance. It is a little longer than the average lancet device, and has a

" suction "

that you can control. It allows you to test anywhere. I occasionally get a

little bruise because I am on the aspirin to thin my blood. It works great.
