Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi - I was looking for some advice on glucometers ... 1) looking for one that is easy to use 2) for one that is the least painful I have a child starting Kindergarten and need to supply the school nurse with a glucometer .... I haven't had to buy one for several years so I was wondering what the favorite is.... thanks for any help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 We use the Precision monitor which is very easy to use and takes 5 seconds. It also has the feature of checking blood ketones which is great for children who are on the Ketogenic Diet. Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi, my daughter uses the Freestyle at home and the Freestyle Flash at school. Both of them use blood from the arm which is not painful at all. It uses so little blood and you have much less nerve endings in your arm than in your finger. They are really easy to use too. > Hi - I was looking for some advice on glucometers ... > 1) looking for one that is easy to use > 2) for one that is the least painful > > I have a child starting Kindergarten and need to supply the school > nurse with a glucometer ....

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I realise im a bit late on this, but we JUST bought our first glucometer yesterday... its a Lifescan One touch Ultra... I cant give a full review on it, but it too allows me to test on s arm... is 21 months, and I have tested him several times already and he hasnt so much as flinched (arm or finger) so Im quite happy with it! > > Hi - I was looking for some advice on glucometers ... > > 1) looking for one that is easy to use > > 2) for one that is the least painful > > > > I have a child starting Kindergarten and need to supply the school > > nurse with a glucometer ....
