MicroTech Blood Glucose Monitor Kit 100 Strips & Lancets, No Coding, 500 Storage, Wider HCT for Family

Excellent, especially for the price. So simple to use - turns on automatically when you insert a test strip, gives clear reading give seconds after blood issues wicked into the strip, and turns off automatically when strip is removed.

I have bought this product several times, it is for my mother, I love it because it comes with the complete kit and I have to be buying each thing individually. Smelling it is very useful and necessary. It's one of the best I've bought for my mother, easy to use and very functional.

This was a great buy. It helped us manage my husbands glucose! It worked well and easy to us. It gives us his glucose levels quickly.

Comes as a kit that includes all you need yo track your blood sugar. The travel bag is small enough to toss in your bag for travel or keep handy at home. Cheaper than most brands of stripes alone! Will buy again.

I've been buying these for a couple of years now for my dad and I've yet to find one that I love. This one is no exception. It is easy to use, compact and seems to be accurate. Yet, there is something about it that just doesn't make it as good as it could be. Then again, this could be one of those things where you get what you pay for.

IT is very user friendly. I had a pharma friend show me how to use it...Directions were a tad complicated and not thorough for my ole lady comprehension and eyes. Might need a magnifying glass for small screen..

I have not tried messing with the memory functions etc, but for just checking sugar, this is easy to use. Just put the strip in, stick your finger, collect a drop, and read your blood sugar. As best I can tell, it's accurate.

INITIAL 5 STAR: Playing around with keto diet & intermittent fasting, so I thought it would be interesting to actually track blood sugar. The price was shocking (knowing what the original glucometers cost), so I ordered this. Initially I wasted a couple of lancettes & test strips. I couldnt get it to read ... So how about READ THE MANUAL! Yep, I was doing EXACTLY what they say NOT TO DO! I was smearing blood on the top. Nope, apply it to the very end, and allow capillary action to draw the tee-tiny bit of blood it needs. 5 seconds and a reading comes out. I have not checked calibration, but others report it to be good. For the price, supplies for 100 checks, and a little manual to record data, this seems to be a no-brainer. Now that said, if one is (as we used to call them) a "brittle diabetic" then the absolute best, state of the art monitoring is indicated. The CGM devices (continuous glucose monitors) appear to be game changers for many diabetics. But for someone who is simply wanting to look at their own personal response to changes in diet, exercise, timing, etc, it is a GREAT tool. I am not offering "professional medical advice" here (talk to your own doctor!) but I always tell patients that "every person is a research study N=1" meaning that they are an individual. If one has learned ANYTHING from the COVID insanity, it is that people are different in how they respond to different inputs, whether infections, injections, medications, or other lifestyle changes. This monitor can HELP YOU become "an expert on your own body" which is always my goal. EDIT (7/19/25) - Accuracy / Repeatability Concerns As I have been experimenting with various dietary changes (both composition & timing) as well as activity & exercise, it has been interesting to see changes. One night I had a "late pigout" with chocolate & peanut butter. So during the annoying & intrusive commercials Prime Video is forcing upon us, I did a few quick walks up & down the stairs. Over a 40 minute period, I did 11 flights. The next am my glucose was significantly lower (~20 pts) than during a prior 'late pigout'. Yay, good to know. However... This morning fasting level was 47. Now I know what mid 50s feels like, and this was not that. So I grabbed another strip & it read 97. Hmmm, did my blurry eyes deceive me? So I repeated and got 80. Two more strips revealed 95 & 92. Now I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the midst of the 3 readings in the 90s. But what about the other two readings? I now realize that there is a SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM with this system, the test-to-test consistency (reliability) is NOT good. While I would guess that the average of the 3 in the 90s is close to accurate, what do I do with the other two numbers? At this point, ANY SINGLE TEST is suspect! This device is no longer trustworthy in my opinion. I will start to periodically test w/ 3 separate strips & see what sort of repeatable numbers I get. AT THIS TIME, I CAN NO LONGER RECOMMEND THIS DEVICE
