[Diabetes-talk] alternative site testing

[Lynn Baillif]

Hi Everyone,
I agree with Mike.  I have not found a good non-visual technique for using alternative site testing. Has anyone had success?  

I also wanted to point out that alternative site testing has its limitations because of variation in blood sugar concentration between the finger tip and alternative testing sites at anytime the blood sugar is changing rapidly.  For more information, check out this page on the life scan site that I think explains it very well.
