Ask The Pros:

Question
Is there such a product that an adult with juvenile onset diabetes can wear to alert to low blood sugar vs the lancet test strips? We are finding with a family member that often the coma sets in even after the blood sugar is restored to normal. It seems that if the drop is noted sooner in the individual, then the coma can be prevented. Not sure if there is such a detection device - or one that is being tested right now.

Answer

Dear Megan:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Unfortunately, we are not aware of such a device readily available in the market place.

Question
Disposable Bed Sheets Item# B03342NONMD 58 x 102, White Can you tell me if the above product is a flat sheet, vs. fitted? Also, what it is made out of to be disposable? Does it feel like a regular sheet? I need these for a home project, not a medical need. And I will not need to dispose of them. Thanks.

Answer

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you for the inquiry. Item #B03342NONMD is a flat sheet.  It lays on top of hospital bed or stretcher.  It is made of tissue/poly combination. It feels like the exam paper on top of an exam table at a doctor's office. It is not made for long term care but for temporary use. These are disposable, not reusable.

Respectfully,

MSEC
