Medical Warning for Diabetics out there.
OH has type two diabeties, so needs to do the fingertip prick test on a regular basis. His diabeties is controlled with medication and diet - no daily injection.
But he’s not a fan of the prick test, so when he saw an ad for a REMI-FA blood test [[clinically validated] he ordered one. It’s around £20 for this item.
His plan was to use it in parallel with the fingertip prick test to ensure it was accurate before he would consider abandoning that one.
Well, box arrived - shows an item on the front and claims it is ‘Clinically Validated’ - but all the box contains is one of those little fingertip blood pressure and temperature monitors.
He’s asked for his money back - Lol. I’d say it’s gone with the wind.
I did some checking on the Diabeties UK and some other sites, and it is most definitely a scam.
If you know someone who has to do the prick test, please don’t let them stop doing it; especially if they bought one of these things.
Disgusting that some lowlife would put peoples lives at risk by scamming people about their blood sugars.
