The real problem here is the flip-side of the advantage of alternate 
site testing: fewer nerves. So it's correspondingly more difficult to 
find exactly where the spot of blood is on the alternate site.

Better in my estimation to just put up with the sting and do 
finger-sticks; the readings are more accurate anyway. Moreover, I 
*prefer* a bit of a sting in that I know the lancet has punched thru any 
calluses that may have built up.

Which of the prodigy meters are you using?  That has been a lot of my
problem with the audocode, and, I agree that it's very frustrating.
If it is the audocode, you might have someone who sees watch you test. 
This
was a big help to me, because I was assured that I continue to be a good
bleeder.
The main thing I would encourage you to do is not to get too down on 
your
self-confidence to deal with, and keep after it.
If you've been gone a while, welcome back, and best of luck.

Hi,
This is for Prodigy meter users who do alternate site testing.  Which 
sites
other than the fingers seem to give you the best results?

I am still having great difficulty getting samples, to the point of 
sheer
frustration. I wonder if, perhaps I am not drinking enough water?  Any
thoughts?

In Christ,
Alan
