Title: Hemoglobin Home Test?
Post by: karoloydi on May 20, 2010, 05:45:12 AM

Is there such a thing?
If yes, any reputable brands?
I dont like to go to the doctor. They are always patronising to people with thalassemia minor.

If there isnt such a thing ,I also found a device called pulse oximeter. It measures the levels of oxygen in your blood (if I am correct). Could this be used to indirectly measure if fetal hemoglobin is increased when taking supplements like wheat grass and resveratol?
