Yes, glucose tolerance tests can be awful for people with thin or deep veins!

He might want to get an RX for a glucometer and strips...to monitor what foods control him better. It can be helpful to manage the dietary habits.

I favor One Touch. You can get a free meter, but strips are separate. Its chemical system is less prone to false high readings. Strips on RX are paid for by most insurances and medicare.
