Alternative test sites

[Pin-cushion21]

I've got to that point where I hate testing my sugar levels from my fingers as I only use 2 fingers on each hand. It's also getting hotter again now and can not be dealing with my fingers non stop bleeding until I shove it under the cold tap. I've always known about using your palm or forearm but I can never get enough blood from there. I've turned the setting up on the needle and still not enough blood. Does anyone else have this problem? Where else can I use. I have a little one and am often out so anywhere easy to get to where I don't have to "strip" in public would be great.

All the literature that comes with the meters says that you should only use AST after speaking with your diabetes team.
