Gestational Diabetes - glucose meter
Ladies with GD, what type of glucose meter do you use to monitor your blood sugar levels? Also, do they offer alternate-site testing (e.g. forearm instead of fingertip)? Thanks in advance!

I use the Freestyle Freedom Lite. I am pretty happy with it - the lowest setting for the needle draws blood without really feeling it. And yes, you can draw from different sites with it.
Good Luck!

I have the One Touch Ultra II. It's easy to use and not that big. I'm not sure about the alternate testing site...I just use the fingertip.

One of my favorite meters is the OneTouch Ultra Mini
It's very small and discrete, comes in multiple colors if you like, and it also supports alternate site testing.
