 Unbelievable flexibility for testing at home., 2008-01-17
I love having this device at home, and being able to test any time I want to, rather then having to make an appointment with the lab and fighting about copay etc.
I test for Cholesterol, HDL and Triglyceride on this unit. I also test for Glucose, but I do that on another system.
The only downside with this system is that you need to make three seperate tests (meaning you have to use three different strips) to get the three values. To not have to prick my fingers three times in a row, I use a depper setting for the pin, so I can still squeeze blood out of the prick for the third test (yes, it hurts!). It takes a total of about 3 minutes or so to get the unit started, setup and through each test, so you have to be patient. It does take some getting used to the first couple of times before you get the hang of applying the blood. That's why I still test glucose on another system that need less blood and where it's easier to apply. Also the test strips for this unit are not really cheap. The application of the blood and the strip price make this a 4-1/2 stars in my mind rather then a full 5 stars.
All in all this is a solid product, and I am very happy about the flexibility it gives me. I can test every couple of weeks now, which gives me the advantage of tying my values to life style changes and food choices.
