Blood Glucose Strips

topcattrouper asked:


I have a Samsung 005 blood glucose meter and need supplies for it. I am in the US and their are no supplies available for this particular model of glucose meter. Will universal test strips and prick needles work for it? If so, which ones should I purchase? Thank you–TC

If no one knows for sure, please put down what meter you use and how much your test strips run please.

I don’t have diabetes, but it runs in my family. I like to monitor my blood sugar every week. I noticed that pharmacies carry them behind the counter, as well as drug testing kits, etc. But how about those glucose test strips? Thanks so much.

A few days ago, I asked why my glucose was 229 one night two hours after eating, then 91 the next night, 5 hrs after eating. (Again, I have not been diagnosed with any blood sugar problems so far, but my mom is a diabetic and that is how I got to check.) I have been checking it periodically, altho I have not yet checked it on a completely empty stomach. My blood sugar has been totally normal since…..One night 114 two hours after a meal. Same night, 126 about 3 hrs after the meal, and about an hour after drinking a glass of cranberry juice. I checked my glucose today. It was 99, about three or four hours after eating.

I had drank some pop as well as eaten the first time I checked it and got that high reading…..but could it have been a fluke? I thought we did all the proper procedures….we made sure the strips were working correctly-they were, as well as entering the right code number……or was it momentarily high because of the soda? Should I leave it? Or should I see a doctor?
