Okay I need help..Where are the best and most accurate places on the body to test?

Now I am going to admit I have a severe phobia about finger testing, I scream and have a massive hissy fit if anyone comes near my fingers. I also have a blood phobia (long story) so this is very difficult for me..

Bottom line is I am a big massive wussy!!:rolleyes:

My Endo said that, unfortunately, fingers are most accurate. She said we could use base of the hand or arm if we aren't in a "troubling" period, meaning we are just "testing" instead of "trying to deal with a high or low". I think, unfortunately, right now, you are gonna have to deal with your fingers.

It gets easier. I had to stick my fingers when I was pregnant for testing. I think I about passed out the first time, but then I was fine.

I was afraid you would say that :eek: That is where I am at now, at the stage of nearly passing out when I stick my fingers..Kelton told me it will get easier and I need to stop whining and crying over it:cwds:
