(1/2) > >>

leonardo:
Hi mate,
how do you tested hemoglobin to plan trasfusion?
It ii possible to use a home "like diabetics" test kit to avoid blood sample to my 6yo child ?

Andy Battaglia:
Yes, there are home hemoglobin testing kits. You can find them online. If you purchase one, make sure it tests hemoglobin and not HbA1C.

leonardo:
tx andy!
Did you read my advice about SQUID on Ferriscan section?

leonardo:
Sorry Andy...then people use this home kit without blood sample?

Sharmin:
Andy,

Because of Lil A's hemoglobin issue I wouldn't mind purchasing a home hemoglobin test - have you heard about their reliability?

Thanks,

Sharmin
