another newbeeee!! with a question about blood testing and cancer

[Joe]

hi... I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone, but straight off I do have a question...

Someone asked me today if I knew of any better way for them to test their blood sugars, as they are having treatment for cancer at the moment and their fingers are very sore and blistered.

I said I had heard of forearm blood testing but I know no more than that. I have had a little look on the internet, but thought it would be great to hear from anyone who has any knowlege or experience of this...

thanks so much...look forward to hearing from you.🙂

Hi
I have only just been diagnosed with type 1 so have only tested my fingers but the meter which i was given allows you to test your palm or forearm, you might be able to find more info on this on their web site :-

Hope this helps
