Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic testers
diabetes
Prediabetic is usually considered as 5.7 - 6.5, and diabetic as 6.5. But being diabetic is sometimes likened to being pregnant... whether 6 weeks or 9 months you are still pregnant. So slightly high or very high, is still diabetic.
To give you some perspective. Normal blood sugars will typically be < 100 all the time. Hba1c of 6.9 gives you average BG of about 160. Hab1c of 6.3 gives you average BG of about 140. Still a good deal higher than that of people without diabetes.
You should get a bounty pack one at your first appointment and it has a little leaflet you fill out in it and take it to your local Asda, superdrug or boots I believe.
When my blood sugar was checked it read 30, and the nurses all looked at me and asked if I was okay, and they told me that patients here go into diabetic coma. They told me to eat something, so had a box of girl scout cookes that I had enten then after about 30 minutes or so I rechecked it and it was I think around 80. This happend all the time and after telling my doctor they did a fasting blood sugar, but it all was okay.
This morning I took pregnancy test neg. The pulled out the kld ovulation testers to start monitoring my cycle again, an I got a positive ? Could I be ovuation that fast?
WE HAVE HAD THE SAME CONCERNS ALSO.WHEN WE LIVED IN FLORIDA WE THOUGHT MAYBE LEAVING IT IN THE CAR OR JUST THE HEAT ITSELF DID DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.SO WE JUST GOT A NEW ONE.IT IS "VERY" SCARY.I DO WONDER IF THERE ARE FAULTY TESTERS OR WHAT CAN CAUSE THEM TO BE DEFECTIVE??
I little expensive but the store will give you some free testers to try. Really great stuff.
There are MANY, MANY HIV tests performed daily. I am not aware of the exact mechanisms or performance of the tests as I do not work in laboratories, but I assure you that test results given are very accurate and reliable. They would not be running tests and giving out results to people if there were "things that went ignored or unchecked." All of these tests are FDA approved. Literally thousands of people are screened for HIV. They do not have faulty tests.
Hi there. How frustrating. Well, I would request another test. Drug testers are required to keep some of the sample for this purpose and it is sent to another lab. If you are sure you have not used cocaine, there should be no reason for it being in your system. Even if your boyfriend uses it. Kidney issues and diabetes have been known to cause a false positive though.
Personally, I'd never have a boyfriend that used cocaine.
Ok..when I have a UTI I sometimes have those symptoms. Do you have a record of the antibiotic he RX'd you? How long ago was that? Maybe you could call his ofc and just ask them to call you in something....or alot of urgent cares (in my area) will make special arrangements for you if you don't have insurance and charge around $50-60. Also, you can now purchase a test for about $15 to tell you if you have a yeast infection or something like bacterial vaginitis or vaginosis...
Hi Kristin! I too, as a mom of a diabetic teen, am very anxious to have a non-invasive blood glucose monitor be approved for use (besides the Gluco-watch. I checked some internet sites and none that I could find had any new information. If you are interested in being in a study, contact your endocrinologist to see if you would be a candidate to be in one. Perhaps they could point you in the direction of finding an open study somewhere.
