Uncomplicated do-it-yourself tests can be routinely obtained without prescription in drugstores across the U.S. For diabetics, Miles Laboratories makes the $150 Glucometer, which registers blood-sugar count. A diabetic applies a drop of blood to a 50¢ chemically treated strip, which is then fed into the machine.
