alcohol

Avatar m tn Thanks for your information. Actually I tested my blood sugar 3 hours after ate. I am not diagnosed as diabetes till today, but I am awared that my blood sugar level may increase in this my age because of my bad eating habits like sweet, meat, rice , alcohol drinking etc. That's why I am testing my blood sugar level regularly. I want to know whether testing after 3hrs ate is perfect or not.
Avatar f tn The nurse who was drawing blood was a bit of a nimrod. Before drawing blood he opened the alcohol wipe and put the packet on the table and the alcohol wipe, while being partially still in the packet, made contact with the table. He then used the wipe to wipe my arm, then wiped the arm wit a cotton ball. He then drew the blood.

Avatar f tn alcohol tested,I was just dropped from the program for testing positive for alcohol for the third time I DO NOT DRINK!!! I am Diabetic. Could my diabetes be the problem?
Avatar m tn so it is applied on me, before taking blood. so when Injecting the syringe, any chance it entered to my blood stream.
Avatar m tn The nurse did not change her gloves. She rubbed my arm to find the blood vein after she cleaned my arm with alcohol. Then she put the needle into my blood vein. There might be a blood on her gloves (even I cannot see it) and she touched my arm at the place she put the needle into my arm. So I concern that there might be a risk that HIV virus can get into my body because it's on my skin at the place that the needle was put to my blood vein.
Avatar m tn The lady who tested wiped my finger with alcohol, and immediately pricked the finger and took the blood for testing. It was negative. The instructions say that you should allow the alcohol to dry and wipe away the first drop and then use the second drop for testing. Since the lady used the first drop without allowing the alcohol to dry, are my test results invalid?
Avatar m tn COULD THE ALCOHOL (40% Vol Alcohol Whiskey) I HAD DRANK SOME 10-12 HOURS BEFORE GIVING BLOOD FOR HERPES NON TYPE SPECIFIC TEST, HAVE ANY EFFECT ON MY TEST RESULTS AT ALL?? My test result for herpes IgG I/II combined was negative. I have no question about whether the test good or not.. I just want to know if the alcohol drinking 10-12 hours before the blood test had any effect on the combined herpes test. I am due to be married in december.. I am saving money for it..
Avatar n tn am 30 yrs female. Married last year. SO far me and my husband have never had sex (in any form oral or anal even deep kissing) in our life (before or after marriage) due to my vaginismus.We both are faithful partners. Last July 2008 i was admitted in the hospital since i had inflammation in my intestine now it is cured.During that time they did series of blood work as my vitamin levels were low. Test included HIV also.When i was discharged they said HIV result was pending.
Avatar f tn I've recently been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and started testing my blood glucose at home with the One Touch Ultra 2 monitor. The test strips that I've been given are pre-coded, so I do not have to do anything to my monitor prior to testing, other than insert the strip.
Avatar f tn Buy the alcohol test strips for testing breastmilk there fairly cheap and its better then guessing all u do is pump dip the test strip and it reads if there is any alcohol In your milk or not they sell them at target baby's r us and online
Avatar n tn BUT i saw a qs answered by doctor hook where the exposure was that the guy had sex with a hiv + prostitute, and his penis had an abrasion at the base which was covered by blood when he finished intercourse. The guy said that the blood was because she had genital warts. The guy said that it stung when he applied alcohol to it.
Avatar m tn I wont go into "random" testing. Alcohol is a toxin so your Liver stops all other functions (and there are dozens of them) to detoxify your Blood. Its the liver that removes Met. So detoxing the alcohol can cause the Met to build up in your system. You dont say how much Met you take. To be a problem you would have to drink for a Looooooong time as in alcoholic behavior where so the liver never has a chance to go back to its other functions.
Avatar m tn t really know anyhow) I can tell you that most blood/urine tests in this country (USA) also test for adultering agents, that is anything you try to do to mask any drug or alcohol in your system. Testing positive for that is as good as testing positive for whatever it is you're trying to cover up at least as far as most companies/courts are concerned in the USA.
Avatar m tn Stupidly (partly because of the alcohol) I had sex with her but was aware enough to use a condom and tried to avoid contact skin to skin (due to a scare a long time ago) by using a position with only the condom covered part of my penis only had contact with her genital region. I sent her home straight away and straight afterwards (within 2 minutes) covered my genital region with mouthwash and scrubbed my whole body in the shower. I felt so dirty and unclean and now feel so stressed.
Avatar n tn I went to a public STD clinic in NYC yesterday to get tested for HIV and the person who performed the test did not wear gloves. It was the Oraquick blood test where they ***** your finger. Thankfully she couldn't find the vein in my arms so she didn't draw any blood beforehand (which is apparently the procedure for administering these kind of tests). It was early in the morning and she had tested 3 people before me. I think I heard her wash her hands but who knows.
Avatar f tn The allergy to alcohol or to coke even can be due to preservatives, coloring agents, yeast used for brewing, sulfites, gluten products in the alcohol or even to grapes and other bases. You need to go for an allergy testing for the ingredients of the beverage you take to know what you are allergic to. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn I am not too familiar with blood alcohol, but I would think that maybe you could have been dehydrated and that could have caused the reading. Try drinking more water next time.
