A member asked:
The thickness of the blood when taking a glucose blood test from the finger is somehow thick.is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Thick blood is not a medical term. You may need to have the blood tested to see if the person has very high protein levels or very high hemoglobin levels. Wish you good health!
