Hello dear
I understand your concern
Blood sugar should me measure in venous of capillary blood.
Ideally it should be measure in venous blood.
Blood should be drawn from venepuncture.
You can measure blood glucose at home by using glucometer.
But pricking is must to take blood or draw blood.
I would suggest to go for blood tests by venous blood.
Better to go for fating blood sugar, post meal blood sugar, gylcated hb
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
