Re: Different sites for different folks?

[Guest guest]

Hmmmm. I wonder where she would have told a woman where to stick herself!

When I was a working RN, I volunteered for the Red Cross blood bank and we

used to get blood samples from people’s ear lobes to check the ehmatocrit

level before taking blood. Everyone said it did not hurt at all and was

better than a finger stick.

Markie, I have to tell you, this email is a classic.

I suppose I have now heard just about everything.

Subject: Re: using the test salution?

now I know most of you won't believe this, but when I first found out I was

a T 2, the saw bones sent me to a lady who done her best to explain to me

what I had and what I should do and how to eat and all that stuff. she also

showed me the meter that they gave me and of course it didn't talk, but it

was free and all I had right then. she explained to me and my wife was there

with me as a witness to what this lady told me. she said a man can get blood

from 3 places on his body that are easy to get to with the spring loaded

needle to get blood for the test strip. my fingers, my ear loaf and the head

of my little buddy! I'm here to let you ladies and gentlemen know right now,

I told that lady she had to be joking? she said no and it was in the book

she had and she could show me, but well I couldn't see it. I have you know I

told that lady if my finger didn't put out enough blood for the test, then I

wasn't going to poke my ear loaf and I damn sure wasn't going to poke the

end of my manhood! I thought that lady was full of cow poop, but later I

read the very same thing she told me in a book about diabetes I ordered from

the Library! I can't even begin to think of any man doing this! he most

certainly would have to be off his nut or a bit in love with pain. just the

thought of the ear loaf is enough to make my ears hurt right now, but the

other thought isn't feeling good at all right now and I never give it a

second passing thought! crazy, just to crazy! I'm starting to think now that

I give it some serious thought, the author of that book I bet was a female!

probably a divorced female at that!

using the test salution?

So far in 2 weeks I haven't tested my meter with the test solution. mainly

the reason for this is the 2 bottles I got are both 2 years out dated. now

where do I get a new bottle? plus how much should I test my meter with the

solution? best I recall with out looking, that each bottle of strips has a

range as where the test should be if it is correct? am I correct or wrong

about this? I'm wondering because this morning my first test said my sugar

was 98. ok this I know was wrong. so I try again. this time it was 138. this

could be right, but tried again and the third time was 121. I'm going with

the 138 because this is closer to where it runs first thing of a morning.

makes me wonder if all the other days are coming out like this morning? 2

weeks ago I did take it at home before going to see the specialist and his

140 test was very close to my reading before of 137. I know these meters

will never always be right and there is a ten% or higher error in our

readings either way. well anyway I suppose I just need to get a new bottle

of test solution at my drug store is where I will look first. I believe the

instruction said to test once a week, but it has been a few years since I

looked at that disk.

I was wondering that myself. LOL!!

I still to day after ten years can't believe what that lady told me that day!

then I go and read what I couldn't believe in a diabetes book! now I would like

to talk to any man who took this to heart and actually has done it. I'm all most

certain he will be a few bricks shy a load!

maybe if I was like paralyzed from the waste down? but certainly never hope

to find out. maybe if my choices were blood from the third sight or paralyzed, I

would I know than choose the third sight, but I believe I may need lots of

strong drink first and maybe a few joints of some good red hair so it will be

just so funny!

Hi Mark, Not me! A man would have to be a few

frys shy of a Happy meal to even consider such a possibility.

no argument from me on that! since it was ten years ago when I was told and

seen it in a book, maybe it has been removed now after no man in his right mind

would even try. just had to be a man hater that wrote that in a book. maybe he

was a guy that she worked hard and many years to put through med school, only to

have him divorce her after he got a fine job in a big hospital. then she got

back at him and men in general by putting this in her book on diabetes. maybe

when she mentioned the man hood parts for getting blood for the sugar test, this

is exactly the name she was calling her x at that time! Yes I'm all most certain

it had to be a female who wrote that book.
