HI there Ladies,
I have been getting very very faint lines on First Reponse Early Result hpt’s and each one is showing up extremely faint, but can see it better when i take the strip out and then look at it..they have all appeared with in the time frame..I was just wondering, if anyone got extremly faint lines like that and got a positive blood test result after?

I feel very pregnant, but just a tad disheartened as all the tests i have taken are still very faint..i have irregular periods so would have no clue when i would of gotten pregnant or even when i would of ovulated..also a hpt would not show a line in the test area if it was not positive right?

Please leave serious anwers..Thank you heaps.

My creatinine clearance results:
758.4 Low when 800.0 to 1800.0 were norm
Creatinine Clearance 66 when 88 – 128 is norm based on 1.73 square meter average body surface area.
Calcium Urine 86.4 Low mg/24hr when 100.0 – 300.0 is norm.
Can you help me figure this out?

With a new box of test strips comes a little card that calibrates it. Problem is, b/c my insurance doesnt cover my strips and stuff, my and my father share the strips. he lives an hour away. i forgot to calibrate my meter when i went to pickup more strips. what can i do?

I am a new diabetic and my blood sugar is at 250. I am type 1 and I have kept it under 180 for the last 5 weeks, but today it jumped. I must have messed up when I counted my carbs. How do I get my levels back under control. Is 250 high enough to panic? Do I need to go to the ER or am I alright?

I was recently told by my doctor that new standards had been adopted concerning hbaic and dailey monitoring of blood sugar.Hba1c at 5.0 or below and meter readings below 100.These standards,to me,are totally unrealistic and virtuall unatainable.Some doctors fantasy.Anyone have any info or thoughts on this.When i was diagnosed 6 years ago,the numbers were 7 or below for hba1c and below 120 for meter readings.

HI. My name is Emily. I’m 16. My mom is a diabetic as u know is high blood sugar and i use her meter to test mine and i always have really low blood sugar it ranges from 80 and as low a 60. I really need some answers please help.

Maybe I’m not doing it right?
It’s a blood glucose reading kit — it comes with needle device, strips and electronic reading device.
So, I prick the finger to bring blood, then I take a strip…..put it into the slot in the end of the reader, and put the blood on the part of the strip that’s sticking out. Then I wait for a reading, but either I don’t get a reading or the numbers (characters) are unreadable. Please, what am I doing wrong? Can someone spell out step by step what I should do…am I putting in the strips wrong,…..thanks
