<<I guess I am lucky in a sense, I've had rheumatoid arthritis since 1998 and have standing lab orders for blood and urine tests every six weeks - one urine test was positive for a trace of sugar even though I didn't have any symptoms, >> Nah lucky would have been allergic to bees and had to run 6 miles a day to keep from being stung.

FreeStyle's Nano-Sample technology gives you accurate and precise blood glucose results with a sample of only 0.3 microliters—a blood drop about the size of a pinhead, or a fraction of the smallest sample required by any other blood glucose monitoring system. The fingertips' high concentration of capillaries is no longer required for testing, taking their sensitive nerve endings out of the picture as well. The reality is that with FreeStyle, you need a lot less blood, which ultimately means less pain and less mess...." Regards, Don
