 Great product, strips are easy to use... technique is important June 12, 2010

This is a great product. I have had consistent results. Reviews that I see for this product which talk about readings being inaccurate may be due to poor technique in many cases. For example, your finger has to be clean and grease free. You also should not be squeezing the blood sample out of your finger as this changes the composition of the blood sample your are squeezing out and can provide inaccurate results (eg. you are also squeezing out oils on the surface of your finger, etc.) You also need enough blood sample to analyze (albiet it is still very small... just a drop). The technique that I use, and I think is easiest, is applying the blood sample directly to the test strip rather than using the enclosed capillary tube, which I find isn't always easy to use.

We've had good luck. I know I've been told by my doctor that the cardio check may be a couple points different but not enough to be a problem. I had my total cholesterol checked by the doctor and it was 235, a bit high went on a strict diet and 1 month later, used cardio check and my reading was 222. I believe it probably was quite close. My husband has a greater problem and we've checked his right after the doctor and it's quite close actually.
Reliable results, everything you need is included, short shelf life August 28, 2010

I bought 2 of these because I thought there would be a learning curve and lots of errors. The good news first:
1) Very easy, so I got it right first time
2) Everything you need is included (i.e., lancets)
3) Reliable results (the whole reason for having a monitor) I would say plus or minus 5 points, maybe even more accurate than that.
The bad news is that I bought these in August and they expire in December. So I'll be testing my cholesterol a lot over the next 4 months. :)

I was dissapointed by this purchase. This testing devise is not at all user friendly. I had to take blood from my finger many times(which is not pleasant). The readings were different every time, so how do you know which one you can rely on? My lab reports were not even close to those on the home testing.
