What is Home-Check Ovulation test?

Home-Check Instant Ovulation Test is designed to detect the surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The body always makes small amounts of LH but prior to ovulation it makes far more. This test device will detect the LH surge which happens in the middle of your menstrual cycle, about 1 -1.5 days before ovulation.

Why should I use the Home-Check Ovulation test?

A pregnancy begins with conception. A child is conceived when the male sperm successfully fertilises the female egg. Successful fertilisation is most likely during a 24-hour period following the LH surge. Since this window is only open once a month and for a very short period of time, being able to predict the L.H surge is extremely helpful when trying to become pregnant.

Home-Check Instant Ovulation test is highly accurate and sensitive. It can detect surge in LH levels as low as 20mlU/ml.

Key Features

* Over 99% accurate*
* Fast results – within minutes
* Convenient
* AUST L 178 739 - approved by the TGA (Australia), European Authorities (CE)

Here's what our customers have to say:

I bought the Home-Check Ovulation test from my Terry White store when I was trying to fall pregnant because they were by far the best value, yet still 99% accurate. I managed to conceive quite quickly by testing everyday leading up to ovulation. I am happy to say that I’m now in my 4th month of pregnancy. I highly recommend ovulation tests to anyone trying to fall pregnant. However, given that you do go through quite a few, you need a brand which is inexpensive. Home-Check was the best value I could find out there.

Signs of Diabetes

Signs of Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the prevalent diseases across the world. In Australia there is said to be 1.7 million people living with Diabetes and 50% of them don’t know they have it. Recent studies have also shown that Australians do not see Diabetes as  serious illness and believe that they have a lower risk of developing than they actually do.

Diabetes, itself, is not a deadly disease but it may cause several other problems including Heart disease and stroke, High blood pressure, Blindness, Kidney disease, Nervous system disease etc and that is what  makes it a fatal disease. It is always advisable to be careful and diagnose the disease as early as possible so that proper medication can be started and further complications can be averted. Ccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Type 2 diabetes is the most frequent cause of kidney failure in countries of the Western world.² These figures clearly indicate how diabetes can bring hundreds of complication to a healthy body. Apart from some well established lab tests, there are home tests, which can be performed by individuals with ease.

Diabetes is categorized into three categories 1. Type 1 diabetes, 2. Type 2 diabetes and 3. Gestational diabetes. All the three types of diabetes may have different symptoms, however the early signs of Type 2 diabetes are difficult to detect but may include:

·         Polyuria or frequent urination

·         Polydipsia or increased thirst

·         Polyphagia or increased hunger

·         Weakness and Fatigue

·         Numbness in Hands, Legs or Feet

·         Skin infections

·         Unexplained weight loss

These are the most common early signs. In type 1, these symptoms appear soon but in type 2 these may appear slowly and in many cases, there may be no symptoms at all. Further, in both the first two types, the problem of blurred vision may be observed. Type 1 Diabetes and Gestational diabetes are more severe conditions than type 2, which is the most common of all diabetes problems.

Some other severs symptoms, which may appear in long run are:

·         Sexual problems

·         Erectile failure

·         Unusual vaginal dryness

·         Premature menopause

·         Irregular periods

Acceptable Blood Sugar Levels

Acceptable Blood Sugar Levels

Blood Sugar Level or Blood Glucose Level or Blood Sugar Concentration is actually the amount of glucose or sugar that flows in blood in the human body. Sugar is the primary source of energy for human beings, which is circulated in the entire body from the liver and made available for cells for assimilation via insulin. Insulin is a hormone, which is responsible for maintaining glucose levels in the body. The amount of glucose in blood is measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/l).

A person, who has high or low sugar problem, should monitor glucose levels in order to avoid further complications including neuropathy, retinopathy (eye disease), kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease.

The blood sugar level, in terms of a molar concentration is measured in mmol/L (millimoles per litre; or millimolar, abbreviated mM). In United States, it is measured in mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre). The amount of blood glucose usually rises after food intake and remains low during the morning hours. According to the American Diabetes Association a post-meal glucose level should be less than 10 mmol/L (180 mg/dl) and pre-meal plasma glucose should be between 5 to 7.2 mmol/L (90–130 mg/dL).

The best glucose values are:

·         Before meals: 4 to 7mmol/l

·         One-and-a-half hours after meals: less than 10mmol/l one-and-a-half hours

·         at bedtime: around 8mmol/l

Professor Ian W Campbell, consultant physician Patrick Davey, cardiologist from suggests, “If blood glucose is very low or very high at bedtime, you may need to adjust your food intake or insulin dose. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor.”

Normal and Acceptable Blood Glucose Levels:

Type of test	Normal Blood glucose level	Acceptable blood glucose level
Before meal	80 – 100 mg/dl	Till 120 mg/dl
Two hours after meal	Less than 140 mg/dl	Less than 140 mg/dl
At bedtime	Around 100 mg/dl	Around 150 mg/dl

Depending upon your lifestyle, you should check the glucose levels after certain intervals. For Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, glucose level should be monitored daily before meals.
