Does anyone know of meter that does not require a pinprick to the finger?

Currently using a One Touch but thinking I've heard of no-stick metering.

Thanks for your help!

There's many on the market. I know my Freestyle Lite can be used on alternative site such as the arm. When I got it the Freestyle rep demonstrated on my arm and I didn't feel the stick at all.

Mike, Most meters come with attachments that allow for alternative testing sites, your arm, thigh. There's also a bloodless meter that's being researched that I included a link for you to read. Wouldn't that be nice to have?
