Hi Tyler,
My doctor gave me a monitor a while back that had a poker that could check your arm, but told me that if I was feeling bad, to check my finger because the result you get from your arm is actually 15 minutes behind.

I have always been advised by my health team incl. pharmacists as a type 1-er to not do arm pokes due to results you are describing .Your results are amazing . I never checked it out , thanks for posting this Tyler. Most of us have 10 fingers and move poker around to the sides .

I had the same results. I quit using my arms. Any quick discomfort from finger sticking is worth more accurate results
