Blood Tests and Insulin Injections

Question from Mumbai, India:

Is there any other method available for monitoring blood sugar constantly and non-painfully?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

The newer meters such as the One Touch� Ultra and FreeStyle are approved for “alternate site testing” which can be done on the forearm and typically is painless. I’m not sure if these are available in India.
