Is there a reason why the fingertip is used? You'd think an area with fewer nerve endings, like one's arm, would be more ideal.

I'm not sure... easier to squeeze the blood out, perhaps? Perhaps there's less fat, too -- the sugar readings taken from a fingerstick show what the blood is doing closer to that exact moment than, say, a reading from a CGM in the stomach.
Also, if one cleans their hands regularly, then the fingers are more sterile than, say, the arm. They also don't sweat very much, so there's less risk of pus and clogged pores and stuff....
I really don't know.

I bought them for teacher Christmas presents.
I buy all things for a reason.

Side of finger...not tip is better.

No squeezing -- it just started oozing.
Well, better that squishing and squooshing my poor finger....

My poke has already healed. Can't even see the dot anymore.

I love him.

He is BAD.

Ah I see. Did you give them to them?

Me, too!
Man, the human body is truly fascinating, isn't it? Its functions, its mistakes, and how our conscious habits affect them and vise-versa....
