TRUE2go Blood Glucose Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit is so cheap that everybody should own it. You can get replacement strips at Walgreens or Rite-Aid. Your doctor won't test your blood glucose unless you ask, or unless you go in there with raging diabetes symptons. So do it yourself, cheaply, whenever you want. There are plenty of kits out there. Guess what? Nobody who's in the biz of making glucose meters does a crappy job of it. They don't have the Junior College scientists making their stuff. This cheap kit is as good as a $40 one. I have both. Get it, use it, find out.
Anybody, diabetic or not, should know his/her blood sugar. It's so easy. If your fasting glucose (morning, before you eat) is over 100, worry, or go to your doctor and say, "why don't you ever test me for this?" If it's over 120, there's a good chance you're diabetic. Scary, but all you have to do is limit your carbs to 50g (about 200calories) a day and you'll be able to manage your sugar without drugs. Get the book, BLOOD SUGAR 101, by Jenny K.

Freestyle Mail Order Test Strips, 50 CT Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered 2 packs of 100 Freestyle strips from this vendor. They arrived in a few days and I have no complaints with the customer service. However the boxes are labeled "Not for Retail Sale". The boxes are printed in just blue - no color. The price break was significant, even from what Wal-Mart charges. We have had problems with about 25% of the strips being defective.
I wonder if the strips are conterfeit or outdated merchandise. Why are they labeled "Not for Retail Sale"?

BD Ultra-Fine 33 Guage Lancets - 100 Count Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ads claim "50 percent less pain." That may overstate the case, but these lancets really are more comfortable than any of the several other brands I've tried. The labeling implies that you need to use them with BD's glucose meter, but that's not true. They work just fine with my One Touch Ultra, and I am sure that they will work with other brands as well.
However, the reason that they are more comfortable is that they are thinner, and therefore they do not produce quite as much blood as some meters require. The One Touch only needs 1 microliter of blood, and some other meters need even less. But if you are using a meter that needs a larger sample--say, 2.5 or 3.0 microliters--you might not get enough with the BD 33 lancets. Frankly, however, if your meter requires that much blood, you might want to consider switching to another brand anyway.

Diastar Comfy Feet Diabetic Socks, 3-pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I searched for comfortable, safe socks for a diabetic for a long time. These are the first ones that meet my criteria: soft, stay up on my ankles, keep my feet warm but dry, good ventilation, durable, comfortable with no bothersome seams. And it turned out that they are among the least expensive, a bonus. I would have paid much more for usable socks, but I didn't have to.
I had read some reservations about these socks so I was a bit skeptical about getting them; however, I just don't find the problems with the socks, even though I am pretty picky. The only seams are out of the way, and they are nicely cushioned. The seam on these socks is absolutely safe and never bothers me. My wife, who has very, very tender feet, also loves them and cannot see any problems with the seams.
The open-weave ankles surprised me and I was sure I would not be able to use them in the cold winters here. I was really surprised, then, to find that they kept my feet warm at -20 degrees F, in the snow. With regular shoes and pants. Later I wore them in snow boots for 2 hours out there in the cold, and they performed very well. My feet never got wet as they wicked moisture away, like they should.
I have washed several pairs 6-8 times and they show no signs of wear. They don't snag very easily, they haven't pilled, and they haven't shrunk at all! They are just as comfortable as when I first got them.
I sleep in them they are so comfortable and they are so well-ventilated that my feet do not perspire and my feet don't get hot, only comfortable.
I am sold on these socks, so much so that I just ordered 6 more pairs.

Bayer's Microlet Lancets, Single Use, 100 Lancets (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The "Ascensia Microlet Lancets" are by far and away the least pain inducing lancets I have found for my diabetic blood sugar testing. Made to be used with the Ascensia CONTOUR Monitoring System, these lancets are almost painless on my finger tips and always draws just enough blood for a proper sample.
I have tried several other brands and "generic" lancets, all with mostly disapointing and sometimes painful results.
Highly recommended!

OneTouch Ultra Blue Test Strips Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The One Touch Ultra Fast Draw Test Strips work perfectly.
I have the One Touch Ultra meter. The strips slide into the meter so easily every time. The stripe size is approximately 1/4 inch wide and 1 1/4 inch long. They appear to be made out of plastic, so you do have to use one whole test strip for each test. I say that because you cannot cut them in half, nor can you reuse them again. One end has a white and black striped end which you slide into the meter. The other end has an approximate 1/8th by 1/4 inch clear plastic area. This is where you would see the blood being tested.
When I have tested, the lancet just barely has to prick my finger. I find it amazing that just the smallest drop of blood is needed to get a reading. Once the small drop of blood is showing, all I have to do is touch the top of the test strip to the droplet and immediately the blood is drawn along into the plastic clear area. Drawing the blood takes only a second and the One Touch Ultra gives me the results in 5 seconds.
The One Touch Ultra Fast Draw Strips are just that!

Home Diagnostics True Track Smart System Blood Glucose Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the Walgreens branded version of this meter (it's exactly the same) as my first meter when I was diagnosed last week. Setup is needlessly complex, and the meter will give radically different readings - even on different fingers of the same hand within three minutes of each other.
Last week, I washed, rinsed and dried my hands thoroughly before handling the strips and lance, then rewashed, rinsed and dried my left ring finger and inserted the strip with my right hand (being overly careful not to touch anything with my left hand. I lanced my left ring finger and it read 499. Panicking, I repeated my prep, and tested my right ring finger for a reading of 150. okay, I thought, bad strip. It has to happen, right?
Over the next week, the readings fluctuated radically, so I tested myself using my wife's meter. Rock solid, repeatable results on multiple fingers over multiple times. Thinking maybe my strips were bad, I opened a new pack tonight and properly set up the meter with the new strips, according to the instructions. I properly cleaned and dried my hands and tested my left thumb with a reading of 299, then my right middle finger for a reading of 222. Now my left middle finger for a reading of 153, all in the space of three minutes, max.
I did a Google search on this thing, and several other people have had similar problems. Consumer Reports rated it LAST in their Sept. 08 ratings of 13 blood-glucose self-test kits. I'm throwing this thing away and getting the OneTouch UltraMini, which CR rated highest, for only $2 more than this horrible, cursed thing.

Bayer Microlet Adjustable Lancing Device & 10 Microlets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The "Ascensia Microlet Lancing Device" is well made and allows for almost painless testing of blood sugar (when used in conjunction with Ascensia MICROLET Lancets - 25 gauge - Box of 100) and almost any test meter (I recommend Ascensia CONTOUR Monitoring System).
The Lancing Device has a depth gauge that needs to be set for your personal needs and comfort to get the proper blood sample size. Once you find the minimum depth that works well for you, most of the future testing should be mostly painless.

OneTouch UltraSmart Blood Glucose Monitoring System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I upgraded to the the OneTouch UltraSmart meter after being an Ultra user for 1.5 years after getting diabetes. Being my third meter, I have to say-- without a doubt-- that it is the best I've used to date. The PDA functionality is utterly useful, especially for those who have been unable to commit to a paper logbook or who don't want to spend the money on the proprietary interface cable.
The only reason I gave this meter four stars instead of a fifth is because of the case. It is a little firmer than the Ultra case (which I personally like), but for those trying to fit the case in a small jacket pocket it is a tad more difficult. Also (this is the primary reason I didn't add the fifth star) the test strip tube location is horrendous. The way that LifeScan builds the tubes, they have this ridge that juts out which makes it easier to open. For my Ultra case, I could fold the ridge down on the side. For the UltraSmart case, the loop is in a totally different position, which forces the ridge against either the meter or the finger-pricker. There didn't seem to be a "good" position to put the test strip tube in.
Overall, however, I still love the meter itself. It's quick and fast. After hours of flipping through options, the battery life still is running strong. Alsom, the backlight is a dream. It comes in handy in places like dark theaters where light is often absent.
One final contention I have with the meter is one of the options on the meter is "Help." When I was wondering how to change menu settings, I selected it, and a dialog box popped up telling me to access the manual or LifeScan's website. How useful of a help feature is that? Common sense would have said to either include a help system or don't even put the word in at all. Without the "Help" option, the primary text dialog wouldn't even need to scroll. Just a small critique from a UI (user interface) perspective.
Let me reiterate that this is still-- despite the test tube location on the case and the perplexing help feature-- the best meter on the market today.

Diabetic Cooler & Organizer Penplus Wallet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's an OK carrier, but a little small. I barely have room for two Nuvo pens (and cram a needle or two) in one pocket, and the smaller has just enough room for my Aviva reader, clisk-pen and my test strips. Also, the ice pack is always melted during the 9 hrs at work, and the inside is barely cool. Being it's Texas in the winter, it's ok, but I'm worried about Summer.
