Surely if the coldness of your fingertips is a problem for testing purposes you could change to using a Freestyle meter. I've had one for many years (mine's a Freestyle Mini) because it can be used on one's forearm rather than on fingertips. Your forearm will be warmer than your fingers provided you dress up well enough. As for the meter itself, it's supplied in a case which has always kept it warm enough for me, especially if carried in one's jacket pocket. I promise you I'm not a shareholder in this firm -- it really has been my very best friend for years!   Leipziger</blockquote>
