We provide you with training about how you can take your blood test at home , and we also provide you with the equipment with which you can take the blood test or many other tests related to your health. What must we do to fulfill our responsibilities? - Managing consumable supply schedules (strips) - Providing physicians and patients with low-cost or no-cost equipment and reimbursed supplies. - Obtaining test results as soon as feasible and communicating...
