If you find, as I did, that pricking your fingers was painful, see if you can get a Therasense Freestyle, as this will take readings from your forearms, which is painless. I have gone from avoiding tests as much as possible (one every six months) to four times a day. These are available in the UK, and Canada, but I don't know about the US.
