Arm BG testing sites

I have heard that testing on the arm isn't accurate as on the fingers. Is there any truth to this? My fingers are calased and I have to go deeper to get the right amount of blood to test with. Needless to say my fingers are sore. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

It is true that the testing in fingers is more accurate. There is about ~15 minute lag time difference when testing from the arm.
