[QUOTE="steveinblackpool, post: 226183, member: 38514"] Hi all Newbie here but been a T1 diabetic nearly 40 years. I test 2/3 days a week changing the days/times to get an overall picture of how the blood sugars are. I sort of know when sugars are low/high. But times i have pricked finger not at the end but the 3rd pad down which i have found it less sensative. I have pricked the end and checked it and it was 6.2 and when pricked it at base of finger 6.4; so there aint much difference although i have been told you dont get an accreate reading may be true but... 0.2 difference gives you a pretty good idea of ur blood sugars and its ALOT LESS PAINFUL :-) Steve [/QUOTE]
