[QUOTE="CathyWeeks, post: 1907246, member: 313118"] Hi, I work in IT so on the computer all day and most of the evening for personal use. I test 4 or 5 times a day with no issues. As mentioned above use the side of the fingers not the pads and should be OK. I used to use a lancet device which took blood from the back of my forearms which was brilliant but subsequently been put on a pump and was advised I need to use fingers so I cannot remember which device I used. It had two "tops" one for forearms and one for fingers so as also advised your DSN should be able to help. It seems you are type 1 so not testing is very dangerous not just re short term low blood sugar issues but long term damage re high blood sugars. Not a lecture just concern for your health. Please ask your DSN. [/QUOTE]
