Not accurate *update
I tested 3 times in a row. Within seconds and got readings of 48 then 138 then 306. With that being said. I ordered a new meter. This one is not very accurate. Very easy to use and figure out. But accuracy is not there.UPDATE**Company has reached out and offered a full refund or a replacement device. Company is very professional and easy to work with !

bare bones but effective
simple to use, accurate, easy to read, inexpensive and readily available replacement strips, which require a tiny amount of blood, about half what other strips I've seen use. Highly recommend if you're just looking for a simple glucose monitor.

I think nearly every older adult today needs a glucose meter. This is one I can recommend.
I like this meter mainly because it is easy to use, reliable, and I think very affordable for what it does. The display is nice and easily readable. Mine came with 2 batteries (only 1 is needed), 100 testing strips and 100 lancets along with the automatic plunger. It also has a test solution to confirm the meter works correctly, and a zippered bag to keep everything together.The meter comes with software so you can upload the data to your computer, add notes, calculate averages, follow trends over time, etc. I use my meter and upload the data to my laptop every day. I then make adjustments in the foods I eat from my data log, and watch how I can reduce blood sugar spikes. There is something both satisfying and very educational about all of this.While I like the meter, there are a few issues that I don't like about the software. First is that I cannot erase data points in the meter itself. If you are playing around with it when you first get it (like I was) and you now want to erase the bad data from the good data, you can't do it (there is a way, but it involves resetting the meter). Now you can omit the bad data from entering into calculations in the software, but this is not the same as totally erasing the data. I just find it very annoying that I can't erase obviously bad data easily from the meter itself, or go back and reassign test solution data that was accidentally marked as general data. A second issue I have is that the software is very limited in what it can do. You really can't change any of the displays to perform custom calculations or make personalized plots of the data. I can move the data into another software package to do these things, but it is a hassle to do that. In any case, the software is free and it is helpful. But if you want more sophisticated analysis and graphing, you will need to use Excel or SPSS, or something similar. Most people will not need to analyze their blood glucose in such detail, but it is a shame the software is so limiting. I definitely recommend that you learn to use the free software to get the most from the meter.

Eas;y to use
This is a very easy to use blood glucose tester. There are enough minni needles and blood samplers to last for months without replenishing. And easy to replace batteries etc. the only reason it didn't get a full five stars is because the needle gun doesn't work well and barely punctured my finger even on the highest (deepest) puncture level. I just push the mini needle in to get that needed drop of blood without the device.

Very accurate and easy to use
I used many brands other than this one. I bought this one based on the reviews and I actually loved it. It is quick, easy to use and very accurate.I use it also to make sure my continuous monitor is working properly. I can say this device is very accurate.I 100% recommend it 👌

It's literally everything that you need. And the device itself is awesome cuz it tracks it and I can bring it to the doctor and show it to them. This is a really good deal

Completo, fácil de usar y confiable — ideal para el control diario
nes una reseña clara, útil y con un toque cercano para este medidor de glucosa Metene:⸻Título: Completo, fácil de usar y confiable — ideal para el control diarioReseña:Este kit de glucómetro Metene ha sido una bendición para el control diario de la glucosa en casa. Viene completísimo: medidor, lancetas, tiras reactivas, solución de control, dispositivo de punción y hasta un estuche bien organizado. Básicamente, todo lo que necesitas en una sola caja —y sin vueltas.El medidor es muy fácil de usar, incluso si no eres experto en tecnología. La pantalla es grande, clara y con buena iluminación, ideal para personas mayores o con problemas de visión. Los resultados salen rápidos y parece tener buena precisión comparado con otros que he probado.Lo que más me gustó:• El estuche es compacto y mantiene todo en orden.• Las lancetas son finas y no duelen tanto (aunque pincharse nunca será divertido).• El precio es razonable para todo lo que incluye.Punto a mejorar: sería ideal que las instrucciones fueran un poco más claras, sobre todo para personas mayores. Pero con un poco de práctica, se domina sin problema.

Accuracy is highly inaccurate
Im pre diabetic this unit was suggested by physicians/staff as good choice for monitoring. I truly liked this unit for the first 6 weeks. Then it began a trend of ? values. Those values average 18-26 points high This required numerous need to (up to 4x was my limit)recheck-repeat stick/strips 1-2minutes or less apart. Yes tried different fingers, lancets, QC tests random and with each new bottle of strips. Whether the test was done or repeated in AC Gen PC mode the values were highly off the “truer value”. I verified this with a different meter. Those values were accurate 95% If needed to repeat test value within 3-5points The pros was ease of use supplies and cost all good. I have had it now for under 90 days and hoped it would improve with troubleshooting guide and recommendations from other users. It has only gotten worse. I read others reviews some mentioned they may have got defective one. I dont know if I have. I contacted company for support. I am waiting to hear back. Will update review upon resolve results. For now i feel its fair to give it 3star however the ACCURACY is poor. Its the parameter that is paramount!
