1. That is what is so bad about taking those tests three times a day

my fingertips end up being so sore I can't wash dishes even.

4. There are new machines that allow you to test on your forearm

because they require a lot less blood.

I agree that the fingertip testers are barbaric. I hated using them in the hospital.

Sandia National Lab has been working for years on an optical tester. If someone else has managed to do it first, that's great.

2. You can prick your finger

but don't finger your prick! Thanx, George Carlin!

Any device or procedure that reduces pain gets my approval!
