Example of a good Hemoglobin meter

[maldorf]

Here is the one that I used. It works well and seem accurate. Good for keeping an eye on Hgb. I could not find a hematocrit meter anywhere so settled for the hemoglobin. Its called the Hgb Pro.

Thanx Maldorf, I have been reading and following the issue of high RBC with many bodybuilders and it seems like it is a very serious and underrated issue. Perhaps one of the most serious issues that can go wrong and most are not even aware of it. I think that the purple blotches that I was getting in the back of my arms and back while getting pumped that looked like bruises have something to do with high RBC count. I went to my doc for blood work today after reading many of your posts and warnings on the subject. You have really opened my eyes to the dangers of this issue and I would sincerely really like to thank you for it. Many others should listen and get that checked. I think I will order myself one of these meters as soon as I get some cash to do so. It may save your life people.

I know it was something I was not aware of for a long long time. I believe that a lot of us walk around with a high hematocrit. I hope that others begin to take it seriously like yourself.

Nice find. Now that I think about it, I believe I found similar but went just the hemoglobin route because of cost. If money were no object, that one you found is awesome.
You can extrapolate your hematocrit from your hemoglobin, im not sure the % accuaracy though.
