[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 317010, member: 8110"] there are loads of people out there, notably healthcare professionals who think that BM stands for something highly technical about blood glucose levels, IT DOES'NT! It stands for [u]B[/u]oehringer[u] M[/u]annheim, the name of the first company to make a drop test strip. The original strips were read by eye colour maching to patches on the pack. You put the blood drop on, wiped, waited and read the result.It was as adcurate as your colour vision. Howeveer, you could split then vertically to double or triple your supply. We used to buy them through my brother's veterinary practice and I would sit patienly with a pair of sharp scissors, tripling them. they ended up being under 2 mm wide! But still worked Boehringer Mannheim discontinued those original strips in about 2002 Hana [/QUOTE]
