| NoelsCat's Full Review: Therasense Freestyle Blood Glucose Monitoring Syst... |
I was recently diagnosed as an insulin-dependent gestational diabetic ... and more frightening than the insulin shots were the numerous finger-tip pokes I would have to subject myself to throughout the day. Imagine how happy I was that the Freestyle was provided to me by my insurance and that it allows for alternative testing sites! I use my forearm and it is absolutely PAINLESS. I do use my fingertips for the morning fasting number (most accurate) or if I fear hypoglycemic reactions -- and even that isn't painful. However, the forearm is truly pain-free.
I highly recommend this great monitor!
