[QUOTE="CJT66, post: 2409896, member: 544362"] Our son has recently moved to a Freestyle and is suffering considerable pain. He is only 12 and has always been very thin. But when the Libra is attached its so painful that he can hardly sleep for the first 3 or 4 days , he has resorted actually taking some painkilling tablets at bedtime . Its so bad we are serious considering going back to finger pricks. But if it can be made to work it will make his life so much easier , but cant go on with this pain. I am guessing its possibly because his arms are so thin that the wee 'needlke' is hitting muscle or perhaps even bone. We wondered if it would work on his leg or even abdomen where there is at least a little bit of flesh [/QUOTE]
