We are developing a tele-solution for offering gluco test for remote and rural population of India. We are working on developing a low cost gluco test kit comprising gluco meter and gluco strips. One of the functionalities we are looking is to measure the intensity of gluco strip colour after reaction. The other project we are working is on coming out with a automated gluco test on blood sample through the test-tube and re-agents.

faith asked:


My son has several food allergies which were confirmed through blood testing. The results showed he was extremely allergic to wheat, which he is when it comes to eating certain things such as crackers, bread etc… He can eat chicken nuggets, chicken strips made with bleached all purpose flour and our doctor says to keep having him eat them since he hasn’t had any reaction. Is there any explanation for this?

I ordered these strips online and was just wondering if anyone has used them and any comments on them.

The supposedly detect HCG before a blood test even will.

I have been feeling really crampy,gassy,tired,sore bbs,and backache

My period isnt due until between the 15-18th, but from the looks of the description of these tests, I may be able to get a result as soon as tomorrow.

thank you for your help.

I pee a lot, so my doctor tested my blood sugar because he thought i may have high blood sugar. The tests came back fine. I wasn’t totally convinced because there would be days i was just too weak to do anything, (i also have barre lieou syndrome) so i would blame it on my syndrome. But i knew that if i had some toast with jelly i would feel much better. I ended up buying the One Touch testing system, and have spent thousands of dollars on strips due to becoming addicted to testing and not having a prescription. I have come to the point where if i dont have strips, i will not get out of bed. My sugar is usually on the low side, ive claimed hypoglycemic. Sometimes it will drop to 70. It scares the crap out of me. Im 19 years old and because of my syndrome im not active at all, but its also because the fear of my sugar dropping if im too active. I also panic if my sugar is over 120. I dont even know what to do. At this time i have 3 strips left, and no money for anymore. Please help me.

But, since it is a wal mart product, my wal mart pharmacist says that no other pharmacy can get the test strips. Is this true? What can I do?

SilverSky asked:


i got 62 today on my fasting reading at 8am. I don’t test myself only once in a awhile. the background of my issue is that i got a high reading on a routine blood test (110) and then after that i got a1c tests done 6 months apart and both times they were 5.3 (normal). and then i got fasting glucose tests done and they were normal also around 92.

i have tested myself periodically to just check and make sure i’m not having any issues and it’s always been in the normal range of 70-100 so now wiith this test this morning it made me wonder if it was a mistake or if occassionally you can have a low blood sugar due to hormones, etc. (i’m just done with my period). i tested myself again 3 hours later and i was 77.
i’m not a diabetic yet but i’m trying to prevent that just in case i might have a tendency. my only high risk is that i’m part native american otherwise i have normal weight and participate in sports.
also since i had a high reading that one time - how can i get a low low reading another time? i mean aren’t you either high blood sugar or low blood sugar? i’m confused….
