[QUOTE="Joanneclaire, post: 1476087, member: 406606"] Hi all, Sorry if there is a similar post I'm new to the forum and trying to find my way around.. I am a 28 year old type one diagnosed about 9years ago. I have always been well controlled and last year attended a DAFNE course (I don't think these are still around?) As a result I am testing blood sugars more frequently and am beginning to notice the prick marks on my fingers and the skin is hard and dry on some, sometimes I can just squeeze my fingers and they will bleed .. I know it could be worse but as I am only 28 and try hard to take care of myself it is really getting me down! Has anyone heard of alternative blood sugar testing? I have seen one which looks like a patch which is constantly connected but I imagine it's very expensive and difficult to get on Nhs... I will speak to doctors but just wondered if there's anything I'm missing?! Thanks Jo [/QUOTE]
