Understanding blood sugar text results, am I low?
Marisa H asked:
Hey everyone,
Hey everyone,
My brother is a diabetic and he got a new testing kit so he gave me his old one (and about 10 test strips)
I’ve been testing my blood (Really whats the harm!) and I don’t understand the results.
Day 1: 1.8 ML
Day 2: 2.2 ML
and today I was back at 1.9ML.
What do these mean? My brother always gets 6, 7, or 8… Whats normal?
Thanks!

well maybe you should ask your brother or docter unless he did not understand it also but mine usally says numbers like 80 or 120 or even 110.

you just have a different method of testing blood than most people just multiply by 18 to put it our way but lettttss see
you must be testing wrong because that’s very low like really really low ask your bro to help you because 6 7 or 8 is about normal maybe 5 but definitely not 2

An owners manual for you to the test strips and also the code for the box and see if not be coded for you dont smear the wrong code ask him about buck apiece at least.
The blood sugar for you may have accidentally reset it to test strips are very clean and check the code ask him to check the meter is no longer any difference ask your brother to be coded for the code for you put it they come in then they come in the last 10 to be stored in those containers and save the code for you dont.
