Home Monitoring for Anemia

[djacq]

I e mailed QAS looking for home testing for hemaglobin and Deb from QAS called me almost instantaneously. She was going to try to get information on this.

I am going to the lab monthly for a hemaglobin to monitor for anemia. It would be great to avoid the labs this often as I do my INR at home!

My question to the more "mature" ladies...do you remember years ago when you visited the OB Dr and the did a finger stick, put it on a slide and put it into a reader of some kind and tested for hgb? I think they held it up to read it.

Would anyone know of a convenient way to check for anemia?

Thank you,
Donna
