You're right you are bored
The palm is the same as your finger and before meal tests can be taken from lots of places

Hahaha pointless question i know! But my boyfriend asked me earlier and my answer was its the most accurate?? But thought id ask it on here too lol!
 
Ear lobes are suppose to be accurate too. Your tongue would be good.
It comes down to the delay from your heart to the vein you are jabbing. The quicker it is the more accurate
Google alternate site testing for info

Completely off-topic, but lovely photo Nicola.
 
The fingers and eyes are first to show BG changes. Don't ask me why, but forearm testing can changes can be delayed significantly.
