Best testing site?
New here. Doctor considers me pre-diabetes. My last A1c was 6.9. Been testing my BG, per doc suggestion, because the first day I tested it was 105, I think. (I'd have to look.) Anyway, I'm wondering what is the best testing site for blood? Where is the most accurate? One day I tested it on my arm and it was 111. I was shocked it was that high and thought it was wrong and immediately put in a new strip and did a finger stick and it was 123. As I said, I'm new to this, although I had gestational diabetes with my two daughters 22 and 25 yrs ago. I'm now 53. The meter I'm using is a Bayer. (I can't believe how small they've gotten since the one I had 25 yrs ago. lol). Thanks! Any help would be great!!
