How much blood is needed? Is it comparable to the amount required for blood glucose testing or significantly more?
Much more than that! My dad used to have a home testing kit for diabetic testing and that was just a finger-prick drop of blood.
This is 5ml... not much when it comes to a drink, but I'll have to fill that vial up.
Really interested to know what your result is Darren.
Reminds me very much of at-home HIV testing which I do periodically.
I sometimes struggle to get enough blood! It’s horrible.
I'll let you know what the results are as soon as I get them (I'm hoping for positive, but expecting negative).
The latter bit doesn't fill me with confidence, nor do the instructions (which basically tell you to squeeze out the blood, using another finger if necessary). Still, it'll be worth the inconvenience to find out if I've had it or not!
