Re: Carbs and GLUCOMETERS-CHEAP

["Maggie Mieske" <mmieske@netonecom.net>]

OK, dumb question....where does one take a blood sample to put on a
glucometer strip?  Not exactly as neat and easy as stabbing your fingertip
and dropping (almost every time) a nice, neat droplet.  I assume these are
people glucometers you are talking about?  Could I just use my own unit if
I ever decided to do my own little test studies on my horse?  I admit I am
intrigued by all this....I am skeptical about the carbo loading but believe
the use of chromium is a brilliant idea.  I have first hand experience and
success using it for myself!  If it helps stabilize my blood glucose
levels, I bet it could really benefit my horse and can't wait to try it
next year!  My skepticism is most surely a result of my discovery that
carbs are not MY friend but the concept for horses perhaps bears looking
into.  I will watch RC for more interesting stuff and maybe even try some
tests for myself next year.
