Does a doctor need to read the results of this test or can i understand, read the results myself to determine the right course of action to take?

they are clear, but i think to get a suggested course of action you should speak with a functional medicine doctor.

I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different. Activity will change your BP reading so your doctor may require you have his office nurse to do frequent checks . I doubt that a post op cardiac patient would use this wrist monitor but I think for the average home taking BP this is an excellent choice and if the readings were very low or very high you should see your Doctor for a check up immediately.I will not dicker if your doctor prefers the cuff but this method also has a problem if the taker of the BP is hard of hearing ......Follow your Doctors advice what ever it is. Thats what you pay him for. I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different.

Honestly? If I had a family member with a potentially serious health affliction... I would do my own test and then charge back the cost against my rent. Or.. if you DO decide to leave it in the hands of the landlord... make sure that it takes place within a week or two. Your mother should not have to compromise her test because of a landlord who may not have your best interest at the forefront. Good Luck and Blessings to you both! -Sylver-

You mean after you test and it's pos. Or negative can you then send stick to be analyzed. Probably not enough urine absorbed to retest same urine or anyway to verify it was you who took the test to show someone that look I was or is positive or negative .. But in 98% of the tests were good.. A couple out of a 100 I have used something about urine above the line or mishap didn't register correctly tests are good..

You really need to get with your physician for the answer, especially if you have diabetes or taking other medication.

You probably would be fine using them but with something as important as finding out whether or not your pregnant I would discard them and purchase new tests.

Yes, I did, but I would say to read and use the directions like you should with any medication. (But I did and it worked).

Discuss this with your doctor, he should be able to provide you the best information.

I can not answer that but what I did was take it to the nurse where I work and compared their readings to mine using their equipment vs mine. The results were very close. The nurse was happy with the comparison. She said it is not an exact science.

The tests are very precise. You will find out for sure! So worth it to try!

Unless you're using it in doctor's office and comparing the Withings read to the doctor's professional read, I don't know that one can determine teh Withings accuracy. Certainly not home alone. But I can say the numbers I got from it were consistent with those I got at the doctor's office under comparable circumstances (sitting still in chair at a calm time of day).

I doubt that - so you'll have to test it on your own to find out better! Good luck now -

If done correctly (just read the directions and urinate at least once before the test), yes.

No. My doctor said the report was unusable because it produces a fuzzy range rather than specific readings that would allow him to see how consistent the oxygen levels were. Just get the equipment from your doctor.
