blood sugar test kit boots

half year post liver transplant, my question now is about his bood sugar, we are trying to monitor it , we have the kit and test sugar before and after meal, but there was time that in just a minute sugar rises and and sometimes went very low. is this normal for or the kit have a problem?

A few days ago I bought HIV self-test paper at the boots and the results were negative. But I am worried that the blood collection needle and test strip from the test paper will make me infected with AIDS.

Meanwhile I need a little clarification on what you are saying. You are saying that you test the blood sugar one minute and then a minute later you test again and it drops down. How much does it drop down by? Meters are not exact within a range of as much as twenty points, so if it is less than that it might just be the meter.

To remove doubt ask your doctor for an A1c [HA1c, HbA1c] test. Or you can purchase an OTC A1c test kit for under $30 at your local drug store or pharmacy like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid or Walmart. This is a simple blood test requiring no fasting and can be taken any time of the day. You can Google A1c to understand how and why this test is undertaken.

However, if you can get a blood sugar test kit (and strips) you could test fasting blood sugar (as soon as you wake up and before eating), and 2 hours after meals. If these numbers are high, then you would need to see a doctor. Keep an eye out, there may be free blood sugar testing offered by some pharmacies / in malls from time to time. Why do you think you have diabetes? WHat are your symptoms?

It really depends if u need insulin or pills, if you cant control your blood sugar then you take pills if your blood sugar is not high. But if normally your fasting numbers are high then thats why they put you on insulin. I have a coworker that went straight to insulin and shes a diabetic now but her numbers were crazy high like in the 500 when she did the glucose test. The doc just prob know that pills wont help you.

l last had a full blood test three years ago and was normal , A few month ago my doctor gave me a finger prick test and he said it was normal , does that prove l dont have diabetes or do l need to take a full blood test where they take blood with a needle in your arm, l hate that. Also l bought a Dus 10 urine strp home test kit .

I fasted 8 hours and then went to the clinic to get blood tested for diabetes...first the pricked my finger and then my blood sugar showed 97...then urine test was good didn't find sugar in my urine...then drown blood to take to the lab...

I noticed the same symptom if I work long hours like more than 8 hours a day but with the driving it comes much quicker.. I guess it has something to do with the sugar in blood but recently I have done blood test through my GP practice and nobody told me that I had a diabetes or something like this.. I have done blood test for sugar last year with different practice as well but nobody contacted me then either. I would b delighted if somebody can explain my problem really thanks..

My wife has never had hi blood sugar, only low. The doctors told her she has neuropthy from the sugar because she has terrible pain in her legs and feets. Recently she was diagnosed with tendenitis in her ankle and put in one of those big boots. Is it possible something else is causing her paid such as low potasium or calicium. Or maybe even a medicine she is taking for her thryroid, blood pressure or vertigo? I long thought she was miss-diagnosed and that we may be barking up the wrong tree...

For diabetes, you should test HBA1C. You can buy a home kit to test the HBA1C at home. Truely normal results should be about 4.3 - 4.6. Although some say normal is still up to 5.5 or even 6, I would recommend seeing a Ddr. if your results were higher than 5.5. Are you overweight? Are you physically active? There are also lifestyle measures that can help to keep you healthy.

You need to get a diabetes kit, take your blood sugar 2 times a day 2hrs after dinner (number should b below120)and first thing in the morning (should be below 90) stay away from fruit juices and things with high sugar.

i had been pricked by a blood sugar lancet two or three times which is white one with a cap on it.its my grandmother kit and one lady of neighbour hood sometimes comes to test her sugarshe is very thin.i dont know her hiv status but is their any risk?

Can you get an ovulation predictor kit to test for LH surge? You can buy them in the drugstore here in the US. That would detect the natural surge that triggers ovulation. You can also try temping - that will let you know after the fact if you did ovulate (temps will rise). Best of luck to you!

The black coffee 8-12 hours prior to a blood sugar test will skewer test results. That was a no-no. If your Endo was not told about the "black coffee" he/she is going by your test result and why you were informed of "becoming insulin resistant". As I said earlier, you may or may not be prediabetic. A follow up test is necessary. Before venturing on let's clarify some terms. Blood sugar and glucose in a round about way are synonymous.

We bought an ovulation test kit from boots! it tells you the 2 days you are your most fertile. We used it for the first time last month and I am now nearly 6 weeks pregnant so I believe it really did help us.

I do have a glucose monitor and it is usually under 120 two hours after eating, but this morning it was 141 when I took a fasting blood sugar test, I did have an avacado, healthy choice fudge bar (I cheated) pasta and peanuts! Just wondering doesn't a person build up a resistance to metformin and need more and more, or does metformin eventually stop working? I am so guilty of not exercising enough! I work full time and my excuse is that I am too tired to walk.

It makes a BIG difference when you test your blood sugar [glucose]. Not knowing your country of residence, the following are testing times with US measurement units. The UK and other countries, like Canada, require conversion from mg/dl to mmol/l. ● Fasting - first thing in morning before eating or drinking anything except water.

I have to take a 3 hour blood sugar test I'm nervous and scared :/ for whoever done it before how was it ?

I have mine blood sugar test in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Any suggestions ...

Does anyone in your family have a blood sugar meter you can use to test your sugars. if they do, please test your fasting blood sugar (should be in the 70 - 90 range) and your 2 hour post eating levels (should be ideally 80 - 100 range, but certainly less than 140). The correct testa for a doctor to do will be fasting blood sugar and Hba1c. IF either of these tests are abnormal, they should be doing a glucose tolerance test and maybe antibodies.

You sound like you suffer significant anxiety. Who keeps an hiv test kit with them and keeps looking at it? If you actually did have an exposure which I only question because you are afraid of blood in an hiv testing kit and didn't write to us about an unprotected sex exposure (or did you?). Of course there isn't blood on the kit. You don't get hiv from a test kit. You don't get it from touching blood.
