What are the "alternate sites" for testing ~ those other than finger tips?

I'm sure there are a few places but I always test on the outside of my forearm - I usually don't even feel it! 1,000 times better than finger tip.

You can search the web, but it has the slow on-screen keyboard. I'm pretty sure you can get a real keyboard and search much faster. I just haven't needed to explore that feature yet. I hope this helps.

The tips I ordered where for a finer tipped stylus. From what I can see on Amazon it looks like you would have to order a different tip.

Very easy. Just type in tip to toe and it should show other products that are used with the machine like the replacement tips. Or try typing tip 2 toe replacements tips

I don't know about them but you can use GenStrip. I get them from stores on Amazon and they work great. They are much cheaper than OneTouch strips. I usually don't buy the cheapest because I am careful of the exp. date.

If you purchase only the meter, you will also need test strips and lancets for sticking your fingers. Control solution is also recommended; you use that to ensure the test strips are giving an accurate reading.

Yes , there is. Sort of an idiot's guide to avoid chopping off your fingers. Basic. Not very helpful.

clear cap is for alternate testing - arms- I have 2 clear caps and never use them. I just use my fingers for testing.

Hi Thomas C.So sorry for the late reply! Cleaning up a few missed messages today. The answer to the question in layman's terms is, taking the place of your finger. A capacitive or "touch screen tablet or phone will work with your finger or any other 'capacitive' stylus. If you have further questions, just let me know here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede Hi Thomas C.So sorry for the late reply!

Dear Customer It use to be OK to Test on other side besides Fingers But most manufacturer have Decided not to Promote after New research , The result will not be accurate when the side testing is done. That is one of the reason that New meter do not come with Lancet Device with Clear Cap for side testing from Any manufacturer . Thank you

The strips are placed in a TRU TEST meter--about $10. A tiny drop of blood is taken by the part of the strip outside the meter and the side with bars goes into the meter. You will need lancets--33 gauge recommended. The lancet is pushed into the FINGERTIP, not the main part of the finger. It is recommended you purchase a spring loaded device to snap the lancet into the skin--less pain and less squeamishness from the user--it is not easy to stab oneself!

Although Accu-Chek does not specifically say it can or cannot be used for alternate site testing, it would appear from their literature that it's more a matter of circumstances surrounding you and your individual testing. From the Accu-Chek web site:When it's okay-and not okay-to check from alternate sites(3)Alternate site testing should only be used when blood sugar is stable:Immediately before a mealWhen fastingNear bedtimeAlways check from your fingertip, however, when blood sugar may be changing:Following a meal, when blood sugar is rising quicklyAfter exerciseWhenever you think your blood sugar might be low or fallingPersonally I like this meter and have found it's readings to be very accurate.

Since you can use your finger, I'm think any stylus would work. My biggest complaint is when the child lifts the stylus in the middle of the line, it doesn't remember where they left off. If the child doesn't mark the end-point correctly, they have to start the entire the over. The square is probably the most difficult object to trace.

I have found that most of the tips are generically compatible. You may want to look at drugstore.com also
