"...
Virtually pain-free blood glucose monitor now available to people with diabetes..."

"...The easy-to-use FreeStyle allows people with diabetes to take a blood sample from their forearms instead of their fingertips, eliminating virtually all the pain of testing and thereby helping to encourage more frequent testing..."

I came across this entirely by accident the day after asking my doctor if any such new devices yet existed and receiving a negative answer. Available with two day UPS shipping from the website. My initial experience is that now the most difficult part of testing is extracting the small test strip out of the bottle with clumsy fingers and not dumping the contents on the floor. -g-
