Iron level testing..?


Hi,
My iron level is somewhat low, as told to me by doctor. I was wondering, if there is any handy instrument which I can use at home to measure the iron level in my blood - it may help me in keeping a regular eye on it.
Thanks

I have low iron level as well. my mom used to see how low my iron was when I was young by pulling down my bottom eye lid. if it's red your good. If there is a faint white line then you have low iron. I'm not sure of any devices you can buy.
