I’m already a diagnosed type 2, but i’m curious. Can you get a false negative for diabetes? What about a false positive? If so, how in the world would you do it? I have a friend that is convinced you can fool your doctor or the tests to give a false reading. Is it true?
I don’t want to do it, and neither does my friend. We’re just having a debate and we’ve hit a wall.

How would you know that you must get your blood sugar/pressure checked.. what are the symptoms?

Since last 2 weeks, i have been feeling dizzy, sleepy and tired.

I’m reasearching this for my brother in Georgia. He’s currently unemployed and has trouble finding or keeping a steady job, due to his type 1 diabetes, as well as some other mental and physical health problems.

i have been drinking a lot and not long after i have a drink i need to go a pee and I’m tied all the time and do you now where i can get a home diabetes test kit like Tesco and other places i don’t think Tesco have it

clammy skin
sweating
acting out

They go away after he has a snack or meal. The doctors have tested several times for diabetes but all the tests have come up negative.

I used it two years ago and have to use it again (gestational diabetes) and I still have all of the equipment, but no instructions. I have been getting off readings and just replaced the batteries. I seem to recall something about the R check stick thing (that has R1 on one side and R2 on the other) but now I have forgotten what they do. How do you code it and do the control test?

a friend of mine was just recently diagnosed with diabetes. she got a monitor that can test on either your finger or any other part of the body. the directions were to check first on a finger tip, then on another part of the body (she chose her arm). the device then calculated the difference in the readings so she can use her arm for future testing.

my question is…. why is there a different reading from her finger tip and her arm? any ideas?
