So if the patient sample is 5%, he/she has a good glycemic control. Some patients want to cheat their doctors because took their disease lightly and they do not understand the seriousness of chronic diabetic complications.<BR/><BR/>-Pei Shan-MedBankershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715810161273684697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452197184774512955.post-31453629312840833842007-07-24T19:20:00.000+08:002007-07-24T19:20:00.000+08:00Hey Peishan,When do u use a heparin/plain tube and...Hey Peishan,<BR/><BR/>When do u use a heparin/plain tube and when do u use a fluoride tube to test for the serum level of glucose?

My entry error. actually it should be :<BR/><BR/>4-6% for normal people<BR/><BR/>But for diabetic patients,<BR/>4-7% (considered well-controlled and thus acceptable)<BR/>>9% (its poorly controlled diet)<BR/><BR/>So a normal person who did a screening and get a result of 5% is considered normal.

The good thing is every med tech is well-trained in all areas of a clinical lab.<BR/><BR/>A DC counter is a differential count counter. Remember we used it in haematology prac before? The machine that we used to count 100 cells and find the % of neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils etc..<BR/><BR/>HINT: by morphology. It's not very difficult to see. You just have to be observant!<BR/><BR/>-Pei Shan-MedBankershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715810161273684697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452197184774512955.post-8252919421918718732007-07-18T22:08:00.000+08:002007-07-18T22:08:00.000+08:00Wow, this is for week 4?

Prevents prolonged boredom.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, what is a DC counter? All these terms i'm a bit blur, sorry in advance. Also, do male/female PBF differ by morpohology or does your senior tell by the amount of cells? A little hint would be nice...haha.<BR/><BR/>- Debra, TG02.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
