lieze Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This unit seems really handy.You don't know how many times in the nursing home we'd have people suddenly fill up with fluid.It was like they were fine one minute and gurgly the next.Same thing with dehydration.We just couldn't tell.This unit would be a priceless addition in the nursing home.I can see it being used like monthly on everyone and then increased based on the person's condition.It would not only directly impact ability to care for patients but also be a tool to show that fluid status was being monitored and addressed.

rubytuesday Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks for posting. Wish I could have one. I don't seem to be able to keep up on my fluids, yet have to take Bumex for fluid retention. And then the nausea from the gastroparesis or dysautonomia isn't optimal either. I didn't see cost anywhere or where you get the gadget with Rx. I'd be doubtful that my health care plan would cover it as DME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Tanita makes body fat scales and some of their models measure body water. They probably use the same technology. I got mine for less than $50, I think. I do tend to feel better when my body water % is higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
