[Diabetes-Talk] difficulty testing my sugar level

Tue Sep 4 13:55:38 UTC 2018

I'm a firm believer in the power of moisturizing, LOL! I've been moisturizing my entire body at least once a day since my teens 😊

I carry hand lotion on me at all times. It has helped with calluses on my fingers, I think.

I'm not one to lotion as often as I should except in the winter.  I did visit my dermatologist one time and was given some medicated lotion that didn't help the callouses.  They are better different times of the year.
Right now, only one of my fingers has one.

Do you lotion after every testing? I've been testing for over 30 years, and I lotion often, and I don't often get calluses. And I test 6 to 8 times a day.

Does it really work?  I sure would like to try to get one.  My fingers are so calloused from 35 years of testing.

Could the Freestyle Libre be helpful here?  That needs a prescription and scans your blood sugar without you needing to extract blood.
