[Diabetes-Talk] newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic

[Louise Peyton]

Hello:
I was diagnosed as non-insulin dependent type 2 a few months ago.  Since I don't use insulin, I'm required to test my blood sugar with finger pricks daily.  I've discovered that my fingertips are developing small calluses which makes it more difficult to get blood out of my fingers on to the test strip.  Any ideas of how to remedy this problem?  Thanks in advance.
