b'On today\\u2019s DiabetesPowerShow, Charlie Cherry, Chris Daniel, and Lori Cherry talk about alternate site testing. How can we lessen or eliminate the pain associated with finger sticks? To help us with that question, we welcome\\xa0Dr. Christopher Jacobs, the CEO and Chief Research Engineer for Genteel. He\\xa0promises that the Genteel Lancing Device will challenge everything you\\u2019ve come to believe about a lancing device. During the show, Charlie, for the first time, successfully\\xa0accomplished\\xa0alternate site testing, using the Genteel device. The camera clicked, as he learned that this new lancing device\\xa0allows you to poke your skin once,\\xa0and return to the same spot\\xa0throughout the day, and draw blood without actually\\xa0piercing your skin\\xa0again. The unit creates a\\xa0vacuum, so you can\\xa0flip the lancet in the device\\xa0(the sharp part) away from the skin, and do multiple blood draws from just one poke. He\\xa0successfully\\xa0drew blood 4 times during the show, but only stuck himself once...Charlie is now a fan of the Genteel.
