What is a painless blood sugar monitoring method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soon, not yet: However, todays method is much less painful if you use the side of your finger rather than the tip of the finger or if you use an alternative site (which can be done with certain monitors.) also, be sure to not have wet alcohol on the skin where you test, it will sting.

Some days I find my blood sugar to be 65 on the fingertip monitors. Most days it's in a more "normal" range. Is the fact that it dips down to 65 ok?
