can you recommend me a blood sugar tester (perhaps the latest version, its name, ways of purchasing it)?

It depends on your needs.  Some are very compact, others have the insulin strip inside it in a cartridge, other read fast, others can be download right into you PC.  Basically they are all good, see what your insurance covers because not all insurance companies cover all of them.\n\nAfter you figure out which one you want to get call the company that manufactures them often they will send you one for free.  Or you can call around and find out which companies will give you one for free if you don't have insurance or it won't be fully covered.  My husband has gotten many free pumps.  Sometimes we get a letter asking will a list of the different pumps made from a certain company and we get to pick.  One came in the mail out of the blue from Accu-chek at Christmas time.\n\nMy husbands favorite is the Freestyle.  When I first asked him he said he has liked them all it just depends on what you are looking for :)! He has tried them all .. lol!  Right now he is using the pump and has a meter connected to it.

Have you been checked for diabetes?

what kind of glucometer machine do you have?? Every machine is different. I have a One touch and I use strips and once the correct steps are followed I obtain my sugar level. No machines don't get blood into them unless inproper steps have happened.

Need to take several blood tests for blood sugar. Start with a fasting one (12 hr fasting). Best to consult a doctor if in doubt

The Lilly Corporation is supplying my insulin for free due to a program they have called the lillycares patient assistance program, or you can try the PPA (partners for perscription Assistance to help find your insulin.  I told my doctor about not being able to afford my testing supplies, and he talked to some of the pharmacutical reps that come to his office and they sent me 6 months worth of testing strips and lancets, and said as long as i need them, they'll send them.  so ask your doctor about something like that

Check with your doctor to do a blood glucose test. Often the finger prick tests aren't very reliable.

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.

Theoretically if your blood sugar IS higher than 126 mg/dl before breakfast, it should be measured again and if it still is higher than 126 mg/dl then diabetes CAN be diagnosed... did your doctor measure your blood sugar before breakfast more than once? if he didn't then you should insist on him ordering the labs again because you MIGHT have the disease.\nHope you found this useful.\n\nYou should check out this link: http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

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.

I created a thread answering this question on another message board recently.  That can be seen here:\n\nhttp://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=24638&t=246909&\n\nBasically, I wear a pump.  It infuses insulin into me continuously, and when I eat, I type in the amount of carbohydrates I am eating so I can get a larger amount of insulin to cover for it.\n\nI test my blood sugar 8-10 times a day.\n\nI have to carry my pump, syringes, extra insulin, meter, and glucose tabs with me all the time in case I go low or high.\n\nI see my doctor for blood work every 3 months of so.  Lately it has been less.
