Hello

Is it possible to get some kind of metre to measure blood sugar with out taking blood please?

I’m not getting on well with the finger testing.

And if so which would you recommend please?

Thank you

@lotuslight there are few options without taking blood and they are usually quite expensive such as Libre.

Can you explain why you are struggling with finger testing?
Do you warm your hand before hand?
Have you adjusted the depth of the lancet?
Do you prick on the side of your finger pad?
Do you "rotate" your fingers so you don't use the same one all the time?
