It was to help Dad figure out how to do it on his own.

You must use a different scale over there 20 is high here, and 0 would be coma -- nm - Karl_S Mar 1, 16:02
You would most likely be seizing if you were 20. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 16:00 1
- Maybe the stripped wasn't in all the way? The reading I did on Dad afterwards was a normal number. -- nm - lileve Mar 1, 16:01
are you sure you did it right? -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 15:57 1
- Pretty sure. Had a nice bit of blood that got sucked up by the plastic thing. -- nm - lileve Mar 1, 15:58
20 is waay low...100 is the average. Do you feel lightheaded, almost drunk? -- nm - amoxy Mar 1, 15:51 1
- Nope. I feel fine though what everyone is say now has my drinking Orange Juice. -- nm - lileve Mar 1, 15:54
I think it's supposed to be around 100, innit? - spamlet Mar 1, 15:43 2

I think it's normal for most people's blood sugar level to fluctuate during the day ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:40 5
- isn't 20 like super duper low though? -- nm - kare Mar 1, 15:41 3
  - Yeah, to the point if it's accurate, she should be in a coma. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 15:50 1
    - I'm a freak of medical nature. -- nm - lileve Mar 1, 15:55
  - could be, I dunno what the measurements are. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:48
