i think i may have diabetes and i dont have money to go the doctor to get my blood tested. Blood Glucose Monitor....will this determine if i do have diabetes if it says my sugar is over or under the recommended amount?

A tester like this will tell you what your blood glucose level is. You can have a normal reading even if you are diabetic, so it is NOT a good tool for diagnosis. Of course, if you have a high reading, it will indicate that something is not right and you should see a doctor. Either way, you should really see a doctor as soon as you are able and find out for sure. Best wishes. yes, blood glucose monitor could determine whether you are diabetic or not. but its preferable to see a doctor to decide what kind of medication you will take. hopefully you are not diabetic. The cheap way to find out you have diabetic or not is to go to drug store to buy test tape for urine sugar.Follow the instruction if it show positive that you may have diabetic,but it is not the ac cute way.For final diagnosis you still to see a doctor for blood test. I am a nurse. I have used a Reli on meter from walmart and it was very good for the cheap price...yes it will tell you your blood glucose level...it will not tell you what is high and what is low (as far as I know it doesn't )....if it is indeed high, then you will need to go to a doctor to treat it.

do you have a public health clinic that you can go to? Inquire if a local hospital or clinic offer free diabetes screenings.
