I have never heard of anything that you're describing. Maybe you read about research into testing in the future? At this time there is no way to get around testing blood and the only way to test blood is to prick yourself. There continuous glucose monitors that have a sensor that is inserted just below the skin that reads the fluid there and is worn for several days at a time...but even those require calibration through finger sticks. You have no choice. I do not like sticking myself and I am sure I never will. Believe me, if there were a no evasive device on the market that I could get my hands on I would have it!!! I have use almost all the different glucose monitor/meters and lancet devices (the dreaded part). I recently got an Accu-chek Aviva. I like meter, it doesn't require much blood..which means you don't have to go in as deep with the lancet device...but what I like the most is the lancet device itself. It is by far the least painful device I have used. It's called the Multiclix, uses "drum" of six lancets that you never see and to get a fresh lancet all you do is twist the top of the device until you've used all the lancets in the drum, then you insert a new drum. It's possible you might need insulin, but then you may not. What's important is the health of your baby and high glucose levels can cause a lot of problems for both of you. I know you'll do whatever you have to do...just know that if you do have to take injections the needles and pen needles for insulin are nothing like those that you're probably used to seeing...and being stuck with. They're much shorter and much finer and most of the time you don't even feel them, honestly. The thought is so much worse than the actual injection. You'll be fine, don't worry.
you can also try having a tissue paper.if u get sweat,rub it and find some ants,put the tissue beside from them and observe if they get rid the tissue.
