Riv’s Mama! asked:


I’m 27 weeks 1 day pregnant today with my 1st. A lil boy! I have been receiving proper prenatal care from the beginning of my pregnancy. Well one thing I found kind of odd was that we have to check our own urine with a dip strip and colors on a bottle to indicate glucose and protein levels. I was wondering at your OB visits, does someone check it for you, or do you check it yourself too? Thanks ladies. Hope you’re all well! I always thought it was a lil odd. When we are done they have the patients right the results on a strip and give it to the nurse. I wonder why they do it that way?? I’m gonna have to ask! I meant writes* oops! lol!

My brother was diagnosed with Diabetes about 20 years a go and is kept under control by Insulin.As the years went on he finely convents my mom to get tested.She was diagnosed with it as well and is using Metformin to control it.I also was diagnosed with it just after my mom was.She went to the classes.I did not.She said she could teach me what she knows.She did not like to stk her self and said she could not get any blood out and when she, did the meter would not work.I found some pain is involved to get the blood out.But meter would not work for me.most of the time I got error.The store I bout it from first said it was working fine.I got it to fail for them.They said Ok you do need a knew one but they could not just hand me a new one without a new perception even though I had the receipt.When I ask my doctor for a new perception, told me they could use the one they had on file.When I went back to the store they denied I ever gave them a perception and my doctor would have to call them to verify that I needed the meter with the test strips.I expected my doctor to ask me for a new perception for the test strips,when he did I told him I need one for a meter as well.He said he would take care of it with my other new perceptions.I got that same song and dance every time I saw him and never did get a perception for the strips A gen he asked me for my blood readings and I told him I needed a new meter and strips and to get them he needed to write me up a perception.I got fed up with him after he could not tell me why I was being charged 700 dalliers I never received.I changed Doctors and got my perceptions renewed.Still no perception for a meter or strips.Same song and Dance.I lost my job and insurance.I spent a better part of a year not seeing a doctor and having pharmacist call to renew my perceptions,tell the doctor would not refill them no more.I got a new Clinic doctor,I showed him my bad meter and was given a new one with strips on the spot.Later his nurse gave me one that used cheaper strips.But now I am on Insulin and finding out that Cheese Crackers and carbohydrates are not solution to a lowe blood sugar attack.It will help if you have the time to what.My mom was the one how told me you should eat a carbohydrate when you have thees attacks.Unless you have some glucose tablets on hand and in a pinch a hard candy or bar.You can tell without a meter if you are high or low just by the way you feel.Now that I know better and I was wrong my answers.You can all tell me you told me so.And now I have to eat crow.A big one with Sheep Herder’s Pot of Coffey. Now how do I tell my mother who thinks she is alwas rite she is wrong.My brother has tried for years to no avail.I have ben thinking of making a list of questions pertaining to her miss information to ask the instructor and drag her with me to hear the correct answers.For my self Vegetables are the best to snack on scents the carbohydrates are lower and my body can handle them better.Meats and cheeses are ok but they are high in cholesterol’s and I already have a high count there.I wish Vegetables wore not so expensive.I do won’t to hear from you,I do wan’t you to say I TOLD YOU SO.

Jay H asked:


So I live in the UK, and I love all types of science (mostly biology). I want to test my glucose levels throughout a week a few times a day under difference circumstances. However, I need an easy kit in order to do it.

I was thinking of visiting boots. However, I need a product where I get a substantial amount of strips to use and a needle where you don’t need to manually prick yourself (you know, the kind of needle you choose a number for)

I don’t want this to be too much of a price, and was wondering if anyone can provide a link to a specific product. I’d like it from a big store such as superdrug or boots (In the UK only) and would rather not buy online.

Also, is there an age limit in order to buy these due to the needles? If so, what? Thanks.

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and today is my first day of testing. At about 0930 I tested with a blood glucose of 137. That was 90 minutes after eating plain corn flakes with fat free milk. Without drinking or eating anything, I tested myself at 1032 and got 61. I thought “this cant be right” so I tested literally 2 minutes later and got 106. Thinking that maybe the other strip was faulty somehow, I tested again 10 minutes later. This time it read 89. I have googled “Rapid glucose changes” and found nothing. I am trying to call my doc as we speak but it either ring ring rings or is busy. SO does anyone have any answers as to why this may be? Should I worry? My husband is, but physically I feel fine.

Awareness Month. Newly diagnosed diabetics can be overwhelmed by the many different choices of blood glucose testing machines, each claiming to be better than the next. A good tip is to find out which brand of strips your insurance company prefers. Machines are usually available at next to no cost after rebates or with coupons.
