The reason I test on the fleshy part of the palm of my hand is that it doesn't hurt like it does when I test on my finger!

I need to find an alternative to my fingers. It's not the pain so much as the fact that sometimes I have to prick myself 5 to 10 times before I get a spot to bleed enough to get a reading. I'm just a poor bleeder. Maybe I'll have better luck at an alternate site.
