Re: using the test salution?

so have you ever had them get blood from the third area? if so, then you are

saying you never felt the needle sticking you?

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.

it is true how money drives the country in all kinds of different ways.

diabetes is one of the largest money makers out there right now for the drug

companies and it is climbing up the ladder closer and closer to being number one

soon.

when I was in the doc specialist's office 13 days ago he was telling me to

give my insulin to my self in my stomach. my sister was there and ask him why

the stomach? she said her second husband never shot him self in his stomach. the

doc said it was the best place because it was the largest and would hurt less

and was closest to the belly. my sister had to then open her big mouth and tell

the doc that actually I had more meat on my butt then was on my stomach and she

thought the butt would be better. the doc said it may be true what she said, but

my back side was farther from my belly and would hurt more then my stomach, but

he told me if I was ok with giving my shot to my self in the butt, then it was

ok. Well I'm not interested in sticking my needle there either. seems to me it

would be harder to reach because of my big old belly that I been pushing around

most of my life. next time going to tell the sister to wait in the waiting room!

I found that the test solution would always expire before using much of it so

now take the meter to the pharmacy and they will check it.

when I was in the hospital a few weeks back, a lady who was pulling some blood

for another heart test also used a drop to see what my sugar was. I told her

that the finger stick would be a better judge of where my sugar was. she said it

didn't matter where it came from. well I have read many books on diabetes and

well that could work for me as long as I only used the right big toe. I

haven't had any feeling in that toe for more then 20 years. diabetes didn't

cause it though. they say maybe a nerve in my back, but never cared enough to go

through all the junk to find out. I can live with it and be ok with it. so yes

you are right, I can use the num big right toe to get blood if I have to.

however, there remains one huge problem with using the needle to poke my big

right toe for blood. I got a bigger belly sticking out then my big right toe.

bending over to touch my big right toe is most of the time a big huge problem!

some times I have to tackle my tying of my right shoe more then once or twice

before I can get it tied. I simply run out of air before the shoe is tied, then

I have to raise up, catch more air and go down for another try. I now have

figured out how to leave the shoes tied and this way I only have to just slip

them on. use to be a guy I worked with who also had a big old belly he also

pushed around out in front of him all the time and he would have me tie his

shoes all most every day when they came untied. I use to think after doing the

favor for him, that I hope I never get so big of a belly that I have to have

another person tie my shoes for me. Well I never should have had thoughts as

that! the day did happen for me a few years back and now I have no one to tie my

shoes for me because I had to up and retire. I know now how my friend felt.

having a big old belly sticking out in front of you can cause many other

problems with reaching and turning and bending that we won't discuss here.

losing my big old belly may improve lots of movements for me that have been a

major problem here lately. I worked with a fellow who had his right hand cut off

in a saw right before I retired. now he has a fake hand on his right arm. he

isn't totally blind and does have some vision enough to get around on his own,

but he still hasn't got use to that fake hand. he is right handed as I am. I do

wonder though if he did have a huge old belly to push around with him, how would

he do things then with a fake right hand? Well I do feel sorry that he had to go

and lose his right hand, but still I'm so glad it wasn't me. All of us blind

guys in that wood shop worked that saw many times in the past 35 years and so

had he, but you just never know when it can happen to you if you aren't paying

attention. I wonder if he can even tie a shoe with a fake hand?

Hi.

I put my pump site in my belly.

My doctor wants me to use my leg though, but I think that would be to

easy to pull out my site though.

So i keep going to my belly.

When i used to be on the seringe i tried a shot in the butt once. It

did not hurt me but i never did it that way after that.

Hi

Rick and all,

I absolutely agree that the reason there is nothing doing in the non

invasive works is purely economic.

The loss of money from test strips alone would crush many corporate profits.

Again, if I can obtain my oxygen level from non invasive methods there is no

reason that blood sugar levels would not work the same.

Last thing I heard about the non invasive development was using the ear

lobe.

Rick,

You and I think alike. I can't help but think there are powerful forces at

work to keep non-invasive meters off the market. When this topic was more in

the news a few years back, there were tons of companies working to get

something approved. And then it was like they all simply went away.

Absolutely nothing. Now, I haven't Googled, but I'll bet there isn't

anything happening in this industry these days. If someone can prove me

wrong, great, but I'm not too hopeful.

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.

Hi Becky, test solution is the, solution that comes with your meter so you can

maintain your meter and supplies.

Hi Mark, I don't know if, it's even okay to test there or, not. That's what I've

been told.

well that could work for me as long as I only used the right big toe. I haven't

had any feeling in that toe for more then 20 years. diabetes didn't cause it

though. they say maybe a nerve in my back, but never cared enough to go through

all the junk to find out. I can live with it and be ok with it. so yes you are

right, I can use the num big right toe to get blood if I have to. however, there

remains one huge problem with using the needle to poke my big right toe for

blood. I got a bigger belly sticking out then my big right toe. bending over to

touch my big right toe is most of the time a big huge problem! some times I have

to tackle my tying of my right shoe more then once or twice before I can get it

tied. I simply run out of air before the shoe is tied, then I have to raise up,

catch more air and go down for another try. I now have figured out how to leave

the shoes tied and this way I only have to just slip them on. use to be a guy I

worked with

who also had a big old belly he also pushed around out in front of him all the

time and he would have me tie his shoes all most every day when they came

untied. I use to think after doing the favor for him, that I hope I never get so

big of a belly that I have to have another person tie my shoes for me. Well I

never should have had thoughts as that! the day did happen for me a few years

back and now I have no one to tie my shoes for me because I had to up and

retire. I know now how my friend felt. having a big old belly sticking out in

front of you can cause many other problems with reaching and turning and bending

that we won't discuss here. losing my big old belly may improve lots of

movements for me that have been a major problem here lately. I worked with a

fellow who had his right hand cut off in a saw right before I retired. now he

has a fake hand on his right arm. he isn't totally blind and does have some

vision enough to get around on his own,

but he still hasn't got use to that fake hand. he is right handed as I am. I do

wonder though if he did have a huge old belly to push around with him, how would

he do things then with a fake right hand? Well I do feel sorry that he had to go

and lose his right hand, but still I'm so glad it wasn't me. All of us blind

guys in that wood shop worked that saw many times in the past 35 years and so

had he, but you just never know when it can happen to you if you aren't paying

attention. I wonder if he can even tie a shoe with a fake hand?

Hi Dave, I've never had a vial of test strips expire on me.

Well, I'll stick with my experience as a general guideline. As many strips as I

use, to not have any bad ones says a whole lot.

I was wondering the same thing. I tried one time on my arm and did not get

enough blood so it said Low on my Prodigy.
