Allen:

I realize you may not wish to hear it but ...

I have never known a blind person who was successfully and consistently
able to use alternate-site testing. It is too difficult to determine
where the blood spot is for the same reason that many find alternate
site testing desirable: fewer nerve endings.

I realize many may take this wrong but I think I can get away with it
with you: suck it up and stick your fingers. (grin) You'll get better 
results
and if your bg is rapidly fluctuating, the readings will be more
accurate into the bargain!

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
