I tested my blood sugar when my wife was pregnant and she was testing hers. I was amazed at how just from the small blood stick, and even if I had my wife do it and didn’t see any blood, I’d get sick to my stomach every time I did a blood stick. I’m glad I don’t have diabetes or I’d have a terrible time of it.

On top of that, for a permanent diabetic, finger sticks over a long period of time are an infection risk, especially if the patient isn't good at using all of their fingers (I got comfortable with it and there were still at 4-5 finger locations that I dreaded pricking.)
