soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I don't test very often. I try for daily, but I am a restricted strip person. I'm going to have to go out to work to fund my self. I'm a pensioner. However, I do find stabbing my fingers painful. After all that's the part of the body, apart from places we shouldn't mention in polite society, with the most nerve endings. My meter booklet showed me alternative sites and now when I test, I use the inside of my forearm. sensory cell are a long way apart there andI can do it without feeling it.
 
This is a common complaint. It's good you've found other testing sites.

It should be noted that the biggest danger is people mis-using finger-pricking devices and hitting the front rather than sides.
