Question

I read somewhere that there is now a blood glucose meter that does not require the finger stick. It reads the blood glucose through the skin. Is this true? If so, where can I obtain one?

Answer

Sorry, this type of meter is not available yet. However, it's quite clear that the manufacturers are looking at technology that might be able to do this — someday.
