    Howdy everyone! Just found this site.

    I'm not worried about how to self test, it's about how to afford the machine and the strips, which I have been prescribed and insurance will cover if we can find a supplier.

    Ok it's a 6 hour drive not 600 miles, I misspoke when I said that, but it's an impossible trip to make all the time.

    Hi guys. I'm a 40 year old male part cyborg with an on-x artificial valve and aorta graft. I had an aortic dissection a little over 6 months ago and only survived because I told the doctors to do a d-dimer test.
