Glucose Test - does site matter ?
Have noticed a difference in readings as to whether I use the right hand finger or the left hand finger. Is there a preferred site to take blood for reading?

I've noticed the same thing. I test mostly on left hand but sometimes the right. The difference of two points or five won't make to much change with the same dose. I take Lantus and without any guidance from anyone it is now at 90 units at night, whcih most days will maintain, within a few points the average from when I wake up. I still have to adjust with Novalog 30 units at meals and adjust after 3 hours if needed. tried 200 units of Lantus, 100 ad bedtime and 100 units 12 hours later and still had to take lots of Novolog plus it made me feel like******all day. I'm going to have to find an Endocronologist. I've aske to see on, at the VA for 20 years. I have to have severe problems instead of stopping me from getting to that point. They could hopefully make lise so much better.
