What Are Large Beta Gamma Counters?

These counters are a reliable way of measuring your glucose levels

While they can be expensive, digital blood glucometers are very accurate! They measure your glucose level from a drop of fresh whole blood, making them more accurate than standard glucometers that use a chemical test.

They have screens that allow you to see your readings immediately, help you track trends in your readings, and provide suggestions for how to improve your health with diet and exercise.

Readings range from 10--1600 mg/dL depending on the model, meaning there is a wide range of accuracy.

However, many experts agree that readings less than 140 ng/dl require medical attention. Readings above 600 mg/dLTakes away some of the fun if you're feeling sick or lethargic, but it's good to know your numbers outside of the home laboratory.

 

The BG meters must be calibrated every day

Even if you have no health concerns, it’s important to check your glucose levels as soon as possible.

When your body is exposed to something new, such as healthy foods or medications, its immune system needs to learn how to handle it. This process of adaptation (remembering what it means to be fed) is called sensitization.

Sensitization is a very useful thing to do because eventually, this learning process will help you not feel like everything is always testing your system and trying to get under your skin. In fact, once you understand how feeding yourself adds more stability to your metabolism, you’ll lose weight more easily.

In order to avoid these unwanted pounds, there are several things we can all do to boost our sensitivity to insulin and lower blood sugars.

These ways to feed ourselves include:

Reducing carbs: Not only will this make us eat less, it will also reduce the amount of sugar in our blood causing us to slowly release more energy from stored resources.

Avoiding beverages that contain carbohydrates/fibers = reducing calorie intake.

 

Each strip has a unique number

The first three numbers refer to the atomic particle that is present in each strip. They are listed from lowest to highest concentration (in terms of frequency) going outward, starting with Atoms 2 through 5 are found only in Mercury vaporizer strips

These atomic particles can be any one of several elements, including hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.

The fourth number lists what kind of molecule is present in the strip. It’s similar to the third number except that it refers to a specific chemical compound instead of an atom.

Finally, the last number indicates how many times the strip is charged. A higher value means there are more charges within the device than there are on the whole planet. Some beta counters actually use atoms or molecules as markers, but they’re still equivalent.

An example will help here. Let’s say we have four molecular ions called He+, N-, O2-,and H+. Here are their relative concentrations for various gases and temperatures.

 

Only take the blood samples directly before and after the measurement

Human serum calcium is most commonly measured with an automated analyzer, which can run many tests simultaneously. The laboratory handling these tests should be certified by an agency such as CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act).

The technician performing the test should understand the meaning of critical results and perform further testing to obtain this information.

A list of common critical parameters are listed below :

Calcium concentration above 12mg/dL (normal range = 8 – 10 mg / dL) or more commonly known as hypercalcemia.

This occurs when you have too much calcium in your body at once. When this happens, your bones lose their ability to function normally.

Serum calcium levels higher than 14mg/dL may increase the risk for calcification of the arteries (soft plaques that block off tiny vessels), cardiac arrest, heart attack, or stroke.

Serum magnesium above 3.5mg/dL, also called high magnesium, can occur due to excessive intake, inadequate elimination, or therapeutic use of medications. Serum magnesium lower than 2.0mg/dL is referred to as low magnesium. Low magnesium is associated with an increased risk for mortality and morbidity from vascular disease.

 

Store the strips in the fridge

A refrigerator is a good place to store your jelly because you will be using it temporarily, then putting it back into the freezer until you are ready for more of it.

However, if you only have one strip stored there, that won’t last long-and the longer you wait, the less likely you are to find any remaining strips. By placing multiple strips in the fridge at once, they can all get better absorbed.

That way, when you take them out, they’re already mostly frozen, and they’ll need less ice in the baking recipe to make the jellies freeze properly.

You also want to plan some extra time to put the jellies in the fridge as well so they’ve got plenty of time to cool down and reharden before serving them.

 

Remove the strips before giving them to anyone

As we’ve discussed, colored light has been around for years in one form or another. But now, devices that can deliver it safely have become more common.

These lights are sold under various names such as LED lighting, lamp fixtures, chandeliers, and ceiling fans. Most of these devices contain red, green, and blue bulbs used come colors together.

Some people refer to them as RGB setups—again, meaning red, green, and blue. Given all the hype about enhanced nighttime experiences, you may be wrong if you think they make a difference.

In fact, research suggests that color differentiation alone (color blindness) is what helps users recognize between sleep stages. A growing body of research confirms there are few benefits to using color therapy beyond this.

LEDs create a mild-to-strong pulse rate due to its frequency, which cannot be perceived by our bodies. This is why daylight exposure reduces anxiety and stress hormones in humans!

A common myth is that bright colors are best. However, studies show that white lamps with orange backs reduce melatonin production compared to black lamps without an orange back.

The only condition where pink LEDs can help is when suffering from delayed sleep phase disorder. Here, falling asleep at night takes too long, so introducing brighter mornings could hasten the process.
