Just a question? I can only speak as a right handed person or 'non user' so to speak so I could be argued to either have no experience or that my opinion is not valid - discuss!

I was aware of the ginger link so that might be the overriding factor!

I am left-handed and managing to control my diabetes. My meter is also left-handed as I often feel a right prick. :roll:

"If the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and the right side the left side of your body, then left-handed people must be the only ones in their right minds.". :crazy:
