if your doing this for school you can contact Bayer Corp. diagnostic division 800.331.4536 or lifescan.com both company's have programs to educate people about preventing and managing diabetes.They can get you in touch with a local rep who can provide a monitor, testing strips,research info and even presentation items.These companys spend millions each year to educate. why not take them at their word? Good luck.

I actually developed my own Diabetes Health logs.\n\nI maintain a table that includes the following:\na. Morning fast reading\nb. Morning meal\nc. Mid-day meal\nd. Mid-day snacks, if any\ne. Evening meal\nf.  Number of cups of water consumed in the day\ng. Post-evening meal reading\nh. Evening snack, if any\ni.  Bed-time reading\nj.  Type of exercise, when and how long \n\nMy meter is helpful as it has a memory function on it.\nYou can produce this log on Excell or on Word, using the\nTable function.

Try Invitrogen (IVGN).  They make products for life science research.

Yes, a blood sugar reading of 92 is great, but that does not mean that your daughter is not diabetic. In order to determine this for sure, consult with your doctor and have an A1c test done on your daughter. As a type 2, you know that the A1c test will give you an average for about 120 days. This will help determine whether or not your daughter's levels are running high consistently or if the 92 that you got on your own was an indicator of normal blood sugar levels. \nOther blood test will also help determine whether or not she is diabetic. \n\nWhile decreased healing is one symptom of diabetes, it could also be the symptom of something else... infection, etc. If the sores are there longer than they should be, then get them checked out by a doctor ASAP to avoid serious complications (infection, scarring, etc.). \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Actually you can check their blood glucose with a standard blood glucose monitor. You can buy one at Wal-Mart. Their bloodsugar should be exactly the same as a human's 80-120 mg/dl. As for cholesterol, you will need a veterinarian to do that.

If you don't already have a program, check out this web-page.\n\nhttp://www.diabetestoolbox.com/downloads.asp\n\nMost of these are free.  Find a program that works on your computer with your meter.  The graphing function is included in most of them.\n\nSorry I don't have a specific recommendation for you, because there are so many different configurations.  Good luck!

Contact the American Diabetes Association.  Your doctor should have pamplets and information.  There should also be information that comes with your glucometer.  Your local hospital should also have information available.

All meters are allowed to have a margin of error, so whether it is something to be conscerned with deopends on how different it is.\n\nI assume the lab value was taken with blood from a vein and the meter reading was taken from a finger stick.  Because of this, the vein reading will reflect changes in blood sugar more quickly.\n\nYou also need to consider how the finger that was pricked was cleaned first- if it was dirty, it can read higher, if it was cleaned with alcohol and still wet, it can read higher, if it was cleaned with soap and water and was still wet, it will read lower.\n\nWas your meter calibrated correctly, either with a code chip or by punching the code in?\n\nFinally, it depends on the meter.  Labs read "plasma values" of glucose results.  Some meters read "whole blood" results.  The whole blood result will be lower, so call your meter company to find out which your meter uses.

It's a fairly new procedure that shows promise. The body of research is still young and has a small pool of subjects, but looks good. It will only work for type 1 diabetics, but I believe it will improve a lot of these folks lives, if no long term side effects pop up down the road.

try API20E or any other commercial available kit. or conventional sugar test recommended by CDC.

I have diabetes and I know preactacally everything there is to know about the disease becaused I've done considerable research.  It affects different people in different ways.  Your question is incomprehensible.  I suppose for lack of a better question you can think of.  All I know is that human insulin can be made in a lab and thats a good thing, because we diabetics do not have to rely on animals or people to get insulin from them.

blood sugar values are as follows:\n       fasting ( 8-12 hours)     less than 110 mg/dl\n       2 hours pp (post prandial) less than   180\n       random (at any time other than above)  less than  150

The tests are to determine how much glucose there is a person's blood. Since this glucose level can change a lot in a short time, frequent testing is needed.\n\nIf glucose levels are too high or too low (hypERglycemia and  hypOglycemia, respectively) this can lead directly to problems like diabetic coma or indirectly contribute to things like microvascular damage to the eyes, the cause of eventual blindness in so many diabetics.\n\nAfter the blood glucose level is measured, usually with a home device called a glucometer, the person takes steps to bring to blood glucose level up or down so that it falls within normal range; that is, they act to restore normoglycemia. If it's too low, they can have a little snack, or in extreme cases, take a dose of concentrated sugar. If it's too high, they take a shot of insulin, a natural substance, manufactured by a healthy pancreas. Using insulin, the body can get the glucose out of the bloodstream by converting it glycogen, which is stored in the liver.

Is when you have to monitor you blood sugar levels at home. Its a little "machine". You prick your finger and put a drop of blood on a test strip. Then you put it in the machine and it tells you what your blood sugar level is. Hope this helps.

It really depends on the brand-  I always recommend Lifestream and it has gotten rave reviews about it's accuracy.  It is only 1-2 points off a regular blood test. Their website is knowitforlife.com  The model I recommend is the "Three Minute Cholesterol Monitor".  The strips are a little pricey for this unit, but it is well worth it considering the accuracy.
