I know a man who lost his foot because he didn't keep up with this diabetes, Jewel. I can't stress enough how dangerous it can be not to be checked out often. This is a wonderful thing they are doing. Thank you cookiefan! :)

Wonder why it's excluded in two states? That's unusual. If there's exclusions you normally see several of them.
Thanks cookiefan. :)

Perhaps they don't have staff in those states that are qualified to administer the tests? Who knows. Thank you cookiefan. :)

Or it could be even simpler in that they don't have the equipment in those branches. Some chains have much smaller and less well equipped type stores in some states than others. Depends on their popularity in that particular state. I'm just guessing. :)

Thanks cookiefan! It's good that they give folks the results on the spot too so they don't need to wait for them to come in the mail. :)

It is! Don't you hate that? I detest having tests done when they won't say one way or the other what the results are right away. Some have got speedier over the years, I admit. They never used to do blood tests and be able to tell you what it said without sending it off to some lab. You were lucky to get them back within a week.
That's a neat find. Thanks cookiefan! :) It's so important to keep on top of your health if you're diabetic and get regular checks.
