iHealth Gluco+ Wireless Smart Blood Glucose Monitor Kit with Free App, 100 Glucometer Strips, 100 Lancets, 1 Blood Sugar Monitor, 1 Lancing Device, Portable Diabetes Testing Kit for Home Use

This is my first time using this and the app and kit works perfectly. I was nervous about the finger tester but it’s not that bad. I started at 3 and found out 5 is the best for my fingers. My fingers are a little sore only because I was recently diagnosed with diabetes but apparently my new doctor has found evidence in my medical records that show it started as early as 2017 so I was doing a lot of testing throughout the day to track the effectiveness of my medication. A CGM would probably be better but I’m retired and living in the Philippines now so some products like CGM’s aren’t available to ship to me so this is the next best thing.

This product is amazing. I love it! I showed my friend at work how awesome it was and she bought one for her and husband. I am not diabetic, I'm just watching my glucose levels for learning how food impacts me; the same for my friend and her husband. They're monitoring glucose for health benefits. It has been wonderful to see how fast it logs your blood with just a small price on your finger. I love that it synchs right to my phone. This information also synchs into my health app on my android as well, so it just pulls it to the the other app automatically.

This system was so much easier to use than all the others. I love that I just connect to a USB and charge. I never get a false reading indicator (E2) like I did on other readers. You keep your finger on the plastic reader until it counts down from 5 and gives you accurate results. Just make sure you swab your finger well. I got an extremely high reading because of the possibility of lotion on my finger. When I swabbed two fingers well to confirm, the readings on two fingers were very close and a more correct reading.

There are a number of steps to go thru in order to take one blood sample. That is probably unavoidable, and most people should be able to figure it out. Once you understand it, the results are great an accurate. However, I could not get the results to display on the monitor device, but with the device connected to the iHealth phone app, I do get almost immediate results. The phone app will also keep track of every individual measurement you take and will give you an average for a week, month or for entire time used.I bought a glucose control solution from another supplier, which you use a drop of to obtain a test glucose reading. This allowed me to test the accuracy of the iHealth device. The control solution is fixed and controlled to a glucose level of 70, and my iHealth monitor correctly read that level from a drop of the control solution on three different times.

Very user friendly!! I’m able to keep track of my blood sugar in real time. Sleek design which makes this device my go to when traveling. My doctor LOVES it ahe is able to look at all my number from the app.

Very nice and great value for all that you get. It was super easy to connect Bluetooth to my phone and it I really like the app. It also connects to my iPhone’s Health app. Love it!

***Updated:Customer Service was very quick to respond. It works well now...when its fully charged, the batter symbol shows an outline of a battery, but its actually charged.Everything syncs well now and it automatically transfers the information to the telephone.Before tips from customer service:The App is not efficient. It pairs, takes the reading, but then gets stuck in calculation mode.Only reason it's not 1 star is because the device works as long as I'm not using the App and I can enter the info manually to keep my logs.Another thing, if control solution is necessary for the first usage, it should be included or expressively made known during ordering.

It’s a good meter and it’s fairly easy to use and to sync but the battery life is horrible compared to other meters I have used. Unlike a traditional meter that uses a lithium button battery where you can easy get several years out of single battery, I frequently find myself scrambling to locate my back up meter because this one is completely dead. The fact that neither the meter or the ihealth app tell you an accurate battery charge is a big issue for me. The app always says 100% and the device only tells you when it’s fully charged or completely dead. I think I only get about 2 weeks of charge out of it and I’m not exactly checking my blood sugar multiple times a day unlike a lot of people.I would rate it 4/4.5 stars if this wasn’t such an issue - it’s a great size, it comes with a case and the case fits everything while still fitting in even most women’s back pockets, it’s very easy to use and read, the results are consistent, the new ihealth app syncs with Apple health, the test strips don’t cost an arm and leg unlike most meters and frankly the kit comes with more then enough to get you started. Just beware if you are a diabetic or hypoglycemic - you are going to want to have a secondary meter that uses a traditional battery as a back up or be diligent at charging.
