I'm not sure what type of meter was used. The meter was for my friend's husband who was diabetic. I was pricked on the finger and the blood was put on a strip and I can't remember much about the meter. It happened maybe seven years ago. I noticed that my thighs were really cold at the time and for some reason my friend thought to check my blood sugar. She gave me a glass of orange juice and maybe twenty minutes later retested me and I was normal.

I just avoid anything with milk or lactose, but sometimes I will get it by accident - like if I eat in a restaurant.

When I was even younger, in my 20's, I took a long test drinking some kind of concoction every so often. I was borderline hypoglycemic then. I was told to just watch my diet. I'm now 55 and just recently my GP said they no longer give the test over several hours. My glucose is normal for the standard glucose test when I don't eat anything for 24 hours, but it will not show my reaction to what the lactose may be doing to me. I don't know if the test is available elsewhere, but I live in a somewhat small town in Arizona.
