Hello, I know that there is the geentel prick who is supposed to prick in the leg or arm, but my question is because a normal puncture does not serve to extract blood from those areas.

Checking the prick it is worth a painless method, but because a normal puncture does not serve to get your blood out of the forearm.

And then I wanted to know if the measurements are equally exact as those of the finger.

I think if you get blood, you are worth any prick and anywhere.

I think it is the hand because it is more comfortable and less painful.

I have heard whenever the finger is made on the finger are the nerve endings or something, but when I see the geentel prick, I don't know, one day I have to try ....

The theme of the people is that it sucks and I believe that that is why it is easier to prick in other parts of the body.But if with your normal prick, you can get a drop, I don't think there are problems.
A very important thing, glucose variations are slower in other different areas of fingers.I understand that because in the fingers there are many more capillaries and the blood runs more.At least it is like that in my body, I have it proven

When you look at your fingers you know the current blood glucose, but if you do it elsewhere in the body you will have the glycemia of 30 minutes before.I don't know if it will be so, but it is what they said.
