DH saw on FB. It goes on your finger like the oxygen meter, but is for blood glucose.

Anyone have any info on it?

I’ve looked on FB and Amazon.

Was it an april 1st post by any chance? I've googled and nothing comes up. I work in a drugstore and have seen nothing like this for sale in our diabetic section either.

As one who once needed to do that finger pricking and who has an insatiable curiosity...I did some searching regarding your request, Kathyg It's called a Occlusion Spectroscopy. It's relatively new for use in testing diabetic blood glucose levels and it involves more than just a fitted finger piece. I had no success in copying the link to the info I found so you will have to check that on your own. However, I would suggest that you seek the advice of your health insurance carrier as well as your doctor regarding it's use as a glucose monitor. It may be a costly tool. I didn't see where it had been FDA approved but a version of it is used in hospitals so it must be approved on some level.

Bryan: I have already got my first fruits from my potted bananas, and those that are beyond my apetite capacity are brewing into wine at the moment (sherry style, fantastic smelling so far). And my California Gold, as well from Mike are also brewing. Just enough to have 2 gallons. My dwarf brazilians are pregnant I think and will bloom this spring. Perhaps you need to keep the pot warm with an electric blanket or soil heater. This way, the demands of the canopy in a drier indoors environment will be matched with a more active root system due to higher temperature preventing leaf drops. Benny: I will email you a list of possible budwoods to mail to you or perhaps you can wait for spring time when we take the citrus tour to Gene Lester's citrus farm together with Ashok. That's in Watsonville and there is no excuse for you not to join us, LOL. You are practically a block away from Watsonville compared to us. At any rate, I may take more Key lime budwoods from you and bring you your wine and other citrus budwoods. Be prepared for a visit sometime in March.

Cat vomiting blood...

Thank you everyone for your kindness and for understanding. Here's some photos of my beautiful Siamese boy, Saki. He was my very first rescue cat. He was a kitten from a pregnant cat I found and took care of. When I saw those blue eyes of his, I just couldn't give him up. I have a 'former' pregnant feral cat/rescue, Savannah, who is now a full-time tamed house cat. She really attached herself to Saki and he was instrumental in socializing her. She has been walking around meowing looking for him since last night. It's so sad to watch. Here's my Saki:

222 is the high, high end of normal but that is not bad at all. The testing is the same as with humans. You can do the quick test with the little meter. That reading is for that exact moment in time. There can be reasons why the reading is higher or lower than normal. Stress can elevate the reading. Preferred method is to send blood to lab. That test does a different type of reading and shows the average in the past 30 days. More reliable and not influenced by stress, etc. If the cat is a diabetic, diet will be important whether using insulin or not. Your vet will be able to advise you on the diet. A quick look on the internet will also give you plenty of info. Low fat, low sugar, good protein and fiber are important. Avoid dry food. puc13....Humulin N...NPH human insulin..by Lilly. 10 ml...100 units per mL. This insulin can be used by humans and cats and dogs. Most humans use this. I get it from Walgreens. Talk to your vet and see if you can switch brands if you are using a pet specific insulin. My vet prescribes this. Whenever you switch brands you have to redetermine the proper dosage but you should be able to do that it 30 days.

RECIPE: Glycemic Index ('The Glucose Revolution')

I've been following SUGAR BUSTERS for almost 1 1/2 years now, reached my goal weight on June 10th, 2001, lost 70lbs. I truly believe, for me, that going low GI was the best thing I could of ever done, not only do I pay attention to low GI foods, but cutting out all the sugars and refined foods made a big impact on the way I felt. I'm in better shape at (almost) 40 than I was in elementary school. I just picked up the GLUCOSE REVOLUTION LIFE PLAN, but haven't had the chance to read it yet. If you need any recipes, we have some great ones posted on our SB SUPPORT BOARDS, the link is below! GOOD LUCK!

Winter, I did find some info eventually. Seems it can't be used for over a 200 reading, so that doesn't make it very practical for most people. We figure maybe in a year or 2 there will be better results with it. Nothing we need right now, but was interested if anyone else had an opinion on it.

thanks again, Kathy G in MI
