Follow the meter's instructions. Test immediately before eating and then
one hour later. "Barlovento" wrote in message ... Hi I have one blood glucose test meter an I want to know how will be the best way to use it , to see the response of my body to a certain quantity of food Thanks Gilbert |

How do I test ?
HI
Thanks for the answers Marengo: I don't have a Doctor,Last time that I went to one for the heartburn that I had all the time, he wanted to start with inserting all kind of probes on me, At the end the heartburns dissapeared when I started lowcarbing. Not even with dentist do I have luck: I have beeen twice because a cracked toot, the first one worked on the wrong toot and at the end he had to extract the one I was there for, The second one "never saw" the crack and after a month that I stopped going there the toot finaly splitted in half. When I called to make an apointment to remove it, they told me that I had to wait a month! when they checked the copayment plan that I had the dr. started a call to a Lexus dealer.... and they still call me to remind me to make a new appointment! Jenny : Thanks for the link , I am doing one test right now, I ate a piece of chockolate the size of an egg ( empty) Sugar level befo 73 I will post the results at the hour and 2 hours Thanks Gilbert On Wed, 25 Feb 2004 11:33:48 -0500, "Jenny" wrote: http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/risk.htm discusses how to test your blood sugar and what to look for. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.

Be sure your meter is calibrated and the test strips are new.

Gilbert,
Yes, the 73 is very possible. Particularly if your meter is "whole blood" calibrated rather than "plasma calibrated." The Wal-Mart meter and some of the CVS/Walgreen meters are "whole blood" calibrated. If that is the case, your 73 is the same as a plasma mid 80s and hence normal. If your blood sugar stays normal over the course of the test, that is exactly what you would like to see. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.

Thanks
The unit is a Walgreens Prestige IQ And I just found out that the strips are may be expired ( 26 March 03) I think I bought new strips once and used the old plastic tube, but I am not sure. then I inserted the strip ( 3rd test 2 hours after ) the first time it showed 74 , just of curiosity I inserted the strip again after a few minutes and jumped to 80, perplexed I inserted it again and went to 90 and the next one to 98, 101 Have to find and read the instructions, buy new strips and a bagel to do the test tommorrow.
