Make sure you have a working battery and the correct strips. Sometimes a code will show which may indicate you don't have enough blood for the sample. These are just some suggestions.

Each time you test it's vitally important to insert the test strip "all the way" into the meter BEFORE adding the blood drop to the strip, otherwise (if the strip isn't fully inserted, it won't be properly read by the meter) & won't show a reading on the view screen. Another reason may be the battery needs changed. Hope this helps.

I don't know as to whether it is "slow-release" or not. This was prescribed for me by my OB-Gyn about 20 years ago (I am now 72). I was inclined to be borderline anemic. On occasion, when trying to donate blood, they would not take it because of this condition. I take one every day and have lots of energy all day long and can't imagine suffering from anemia. I rarely go to the doctor and have had a blood test a couple of times in the past 20 years or so Obviously, my blood count is ok. I never even think about it or ask the doctor since I feel so great.

Did you try a new strip after you got the error message? The strips don't require much, but they do require some degree of accuracy, and they do not give second chances. If you tried a new strip, allowing the strip to wick the blood up into the testing area, and still got an error, you might need to recalibrate the tester.

The expiration date is what the manufacture puts on this medical product to let you know it should no longer be used. The accuracy of the blood sugar reading may be compromised if you use a test strip that is past the expiration date. The shelf life of the strip is limited as our many other medical products. The best thing to do if you have expired test strips is to toss them. It is not worth taking a chance on false blood sugar readings when it comes to your health!

You may have possibly experienced a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. You may want to contact you physician for blood work.

No it won't. It requires a smaller amount of blood than others. It has a little "drop" icon that showes until there is enough blood in the stick then it showes dashes until the testing is complete then it displays the result. I had mine tested at my doctors office and it resulted very close to their monitor. They said closer even than most others they have tested. Hope this helps. :)

It doesn't matter where you get the drop of blood from. That's completely up to you. Once you have the drop you just touch the end of the strip into the blood drop. The device counts down then gives you the reading. I'm doing ketone and glucose twice a day and it works great. Just insert the strip (glucose or ketone) in the device (same device does glucose and ketone) then get the blood drop then touch the strip to the drop, wait a few seconds until the countdown stops and gives your reading, then pull that strip out (if you're measuring both glucose and ketones like me) stick the other strip in and touch it to the same blood drop and get the measurement of the other substance. When you insert the strip make sure the unit acknowledges it (it says ketone or glucose depend on which strip you put in the unit). It acknowledges 95% of the time. If it doesn't pull it out and reinsert and it has always acknowledged the second time. I haven't lost a single strip using this method and I've been through way more than a hundred of glucose and ketone strip.

I don't think this can test your blood type. We use for test blood glucose.

Hi, I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

It will be clear that your parents are or are not your biological parents if you and they get tested. If a parent is unavailable, you could get your grandparents tested or your aunts or uncles or your cousins, as surrogates for the parents, but that takes a little more interpretation. In my family, our daughter shares 50% with each of my wife and me, and there is matching all through each chromosome, so it is very clear. Note that a several 23andme users have posted threads on the discussion groups about how they found that they were adopted, or their mother got pregnant by a man other than the Dad, or through artificial insemination.

Most monitors that I've tried don't start testing until most of the strip has been loaded. The True2Go meter is no exception. If for some reason you haven't filled the entire test strip, an error code will result and you will have to begin again. The amount of blood the True2Go requires is so small that it would be difficult not to adequately fill it. A good practice is to be sure you have a good drop of blood before you wick it up with the test strip, though.

The readings on mine are pretty right on. You should bring it to your doctors office on your next visit and compare it to their reading right at that time.

Try again in the morning when you first wake up. The urine will be stronger. I also believe it's more common to receive a false negative than a false positive. Good luck.

I have no experience in that area I take it for my blood being slightly anaemic.

Basically, I don't know. Best to check it when it is very dark. Indoors or outdoors doesn't make a difference. I've only tried my light on fresh urine. Apparently it's good for looking (?) at other stuff as well. Hope this helps a bit for you.

You can download it anytime. If you keep using the usb blood checker it will store it on the device. When you plug it into the computer it will download all the new information. At least that's what it appears it does. i often to not hook it up until after a few tests and all of the information appears to be there.

I threw the GoutPro out because it did not lower my uric acid level after one month. I had the lab test for uric acid taken.It has natural ingredients in it. Ask GoutPro.
