Does anyone have experience with at-home hemoglobin tests? I'm still trying to figure out my crohn's and I don't exhibit "normal" symptoms so I don't really know when I'm getting better (or worse). The main indicator seems to be my hemoglobin and the resulting severe anemia.
I ended up having to get 3 units of blood last weekend because I went into the ER with a hemoglobin of 5.5. 3 days later I was at 8.3, but I'd like to be able to keep a better eye on things.
Anyways, has anyone used any of those at-home tests? They look like the things diabetics use to measure their blood sugar.
Thanks!
