[QUOTE="bangkokdiabetic, post: 1641241, member: 36148"] Here in Thailand I am told you can also take blood from the fleshy part of your palm just below the thumb,I would confirm this with your doctor or nurse. Nowadays the amount of blood needed is less than it used to be because of the sensitivity of the strips so the needle can be used on a lower setting. although they come as a set you can buy and use another type of finger pricker which may use finer needles and be less painful....It does get easier with time...good luck PS I have not tried under the thumb pricking myself will have a go and see if results differ will post results [/QUOTE]
