Smart Glucose Monitor Kit | USB-C Port (Compatible with Android & iPhone 15 and newer) | Test Blood Sugar Levels & Manage Diabetes, Testing Kit Includes: Glucometer with 25 Strips, 10 lancets

I have to say this is the best monitor I’ve ever owned. Nice to have it all in one unit, easy to travel with and just every day use. Easy way to record your numbers. Awesome must buy.

Excellent kit, I use as a spare or emergency test kit. It is very accurate and quick. It’s small dongle is perfect for my iPhone. Beware though if you have an older iPhone there is a lightening version but when you upgrade to a new usb-c phone there isn’t a way to change the plug out so you have to buy a new kit. My insurance doesn’t cover any of the supplies but I do get a hsa reimbursement so it’s ok for me to pay out of pocket. This kit is enough for 25 uses, there are replacement strips and lancet tips you can buy that aren’t super expensive. The device itself will hold a lancet tip, the cartridge that holds strips, and the dongle. You can put it in your pocket, a little purse or your car and it’s easily accessible. I will Continue to repurchase these as needed.

DARIO It is not very often that I come across a product that truly behaves the way that it says it will. As a person who is on the fence, with getting diabetes or not getting diabetes, i’ve always checked my blood glucose levels anytime I had visual disturbances or any other unknown symptoms. I was testing my blood sugar a couple weeks ago and I had an extremely high blood sugar. I called the company, to see if they had any advice for me. We later discovered my strips were very old and we’re no longer accurate. They sent me some new test strips and advise me of the expiration date on the product when it is purchased. This was totally my fault for not observing the expiration dates. When I got the new strips my blood sugar tested fine. During this time I had numerous test done at my local hospital and doctors office. And they were all fine. So it was kind of difficult for the doctors to understand why I was getting such a number that was so far off at home. But once we found out the strips are expired and now I was back to normal. Now back to this unit. I have had numerous other blood glucose testing kits. This is by far the best one I have ever had. It is so amazing how so much stuff is packed and do something so small. Everything from the strips to the iPhone adapter as well as the blood sample device as well as the test strips are all stored in the same device. If you’re a fan of a certain building block that is made for children you will like this product. It’s as though every detail was completely gone over. Item number one, the transmitter plugs into the bottom of your iPhone, I have an 11+ and it fits right in the iOS plug for your charger. When you plug it in the home screen for the program pops up and asks if it is OK to turn it on. The Apple program will tell you step-by-step what to do. The plug in the little module, insert a test strip, you take your blood sample. This unit uses the least amount of blood I have ever seen. Also with the black background and the town area where the blood goes it is easy to see. You put your blood on and in just a few seconds you will have a instant display telling you your blood sugar level and where it fits into the range of blood sugars. It also tracks some other items such as your blood pressure and pulse and I believe there is an option to track your sugar consumption and caloric issues. Those items are not what I bought this unit for. I bought it for Fast accurate blood glucose sampling. Most of all you can stick it in your pocket and it is so small you don’t even realize it’s in your pocket. Now my only negative aspect? To buy 25 test preps cost about $25. And of course that is on Amazon. Now you can purchase the unit brand new at various locations and on Amazon for less than $20. So as a person who doesn’t have to have blood glucose testing all the time I do not use a tremendous amount of strips. I think the company should sell small amounts of strips at a reduced cost. As opposed to me purchasing a whole brand new unit every time to save money. They have various subscription models available for various types of diabetic customers whether it be personal consultation or unlimited strips or unlimited skin pricks. I have no complaints about the product whatsoever. When I called the manufacturer, to talk to them about my blood glucose numbers, the company was wonderful on the phone and was very eager to help me figure out my problem. I received quick response via mail of my replacement strips. I have ordered test strips as well as the metal bricks I now can rest easy knowing that my blood sugar is accurate. Cost of the additional items are well within reasonable. The pack of 25 or 50 test strips comes with a nice plastic case that goes right into the unit. I cannot say anything else about this product other than if you want accurate blood glucose testing that is simple to carry around without having to carry a big unit around with you. This is the product I recommend.

I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic, though not new to the diabetic world. My dad has had diabetes since I was a kid and has been on insulin since I was a teenager. When I was diagnosed 4 months ago, I began looking into diets and testing tools. I'm the kind of person who needs to see the numbers and how my body reacts to foods, exercise, etc to be able to make choices. I've done the same for blood pressure with pretty good results. When I came across this monitor device, I though it was pretty cool, very compact, and fits perfectly into my life as I almost always have my cell phone around. Almost is the operative word. The main contributor at least recently to my poor diet is my work or rather the building in which I work. I work on a military base in a secure facility with few dining options, particularly healthy options. Additionally, I cannot have my cell phone in the building while working and this particular device is not approved to even bring in the building. So for a large part of my day, it is nearly useless unless I exit the building do my finger sticks in my car, which is what I did for a while. I do have a monitor that is approved for use in the building. Oddly, even the Freestyle Libre 2 is approved. But let's talk about my use of this device outside of work. I opted for the small carrying case which hold the device, some lancets and of course test strips nicely. It fits comfortably in a pants pocket without being too bulky. When it's time to test, I can easily pull it out, insert the reader into my phone and be done in less than 2 minutes. Simple enough like most any monitor available today. It connects to the app on my iPhone and syncs with the Health app seamlessly. I'm able to show my doctor my results without issue. There are a few minor issues that would take this from good to great. 1. Lancet insertion does not have a definitive stopping point. Insert too far and you have to adjust the depth. Don't insert far enough and still more depth adjustment. So lancing is inconsistent. My OneTouch Delica Plus has a definitive stopping point when inserting the lancet. I set the depth one time and that's it. Every single time I lance with it, I get the same result which means testing is much quicker with it. Same for my AccuCheck Guide Me. 2. Sticking with the lancet, there is no lancet ejection mechanism. This could actually be dangerous. I've cut myself once or twice trying to remove a used lancet. Again both my OneTouch and AccuCheck lancing devices have an ejection mechanism which makes for safer and quicker testing. 3. The test strip container could use a little work. It's fine when full ( each one holds 25 strips). However, as the supply dwindles, they can move around. The result is that when closing the container, a strip can get lodged in between the cap if the user is not paying attention causing the strip to get pinched and bent and likely ruined. I've done this a few times, particularly as I've gotten faster at using the whole thing. The OneTouch is actually no better with this as their container is huge and strips stick together and can easily be damaged when closing it. AccuCheck gets it right. The strips are held in the container in a space just large enough to fit the strips. They don't move at all and it's pretty easy to get one out at a time and close without issue. 4. This last issue has to do with the fact that supplies seem to be only available through Amazon and Dario. I suppose that works for many people but it would be nice to be able to stop in WalMart, or Walgreens in a pinch. In my opinion, if these 4 things could be resolved, this would be a great monitor for on the go use. The app is great. Compared to OneTouch, MySugr (AccuCheck), it's much more comprehensive. When logging food, it's simple enough to use the scanner to scan barcodes. Only a few haven't been in the database so far. When you've tested enough, it will give an estimated A1C. I think it requires at least 21 tests over 30 days to calculate. Not entirely useful, but it's there. It tells me my eA1C is 5.6 which is down quite a bit from 7.1 back in October. However, when I had my A1C a week ago, it was 6.4. At least it was trending downward which is always good. I'm gonna harp on lancets again. These are 30 gauge lancets which are fine. I find I prefer thinner 33 gauge which are finer and a little less painful. As far as I can tell Dario doesn't sell 33 gauge. So again, this glucose monitor is great for the right situation. For me, however, this has been relegated to back up to the back up monitor. I don't use it often any longer as it just won't work for my situation. But for many, this monitor could be good for discrete, on the go use. And if Dario addresses the 4 minor issues I mentioned, it could be great.

You hate to get a physical and find out something like you have Type 2 Diabetes. Of course like many Americans it's my own fault for not eating and exercising correctly and I'm the only one to blame for that. I should also preface this review with disclosing that I've been a product designer for years, so when this product came along, I was so impressed with the design and implied ease of use. In fact, I was so excited I bought three of the devices (so I'd have them in convenient places), extra lancets and test strips. Like that wasn't a big enough investment, I also decided to get the blood pressure device. When I first started using it, I was pretty impressed. It's rare you see a good hardware design matched with a good app design. Here's where it went incredibly bad. After a week of use, suddenly I was getting errors. So thought to myself, hmm... maybe it's a bad test strip... maybe the reader isn't working. No problem... I have two more and tons of other test strips. So I tried them... all of them. I tried all three devices... I opened every package of test strips (I had about 7 sealed packs of test strips). Not only did they all fail, but then it wasn't even reading the blood droplet (see the pics for evidence of both). So frustrated I contact support... and they convince me that it must be my phone. I had an iPhone 11 pro at the time and I keep my phone pretty clear of dirt and debris... but I tried the toothpick and rubbing alcohol trick just to see if the port was dirty or had something in it. Keep in mind, every other device and cord I use that plugs into that port has never had a problem. So the support person asks me if I have another phone to try. I had an old iPhone 7 so I tried it... and it worked! So I thought to myself... OK... I guess I'll suck it up and get a new phone (about a $700 hit, but I work in tech so I can kind of justify it). So I order the phone and decide to use the old phone in the interim until the new one arrived. And then the same problem happened with the iPhone 7... worked for a few days... then same problem. So now I'm super frustrated. I've used 3 devices, over a hundred strips, 2 phones... and still couldn't get it to work... and then the new phone arrives. So I’m thinking… this is probably a lost cause, but I’ll try it… so I use my new iPhone 12 Pro Max and it works… and I think, ok… maybe both of those phones had issues and I’m finally over it. This morning I went to do a test… and it read inserting the device… it detected a strip and when I went to put a drop of blood on it... it didn't detect it. I should also mention that I was very careful and aware that it needs a certain size sample... and as you can see by my many attempts... I covered the sensor as described. So now... 3 different dario devices. 3 different phones including a brand new one. Several calls and emails with Dario support. So many test strips and a lot of money invested in this system, I'm throwing in the towel. I see that this gets lots of positive reviews and maybe I was sent a bad batch of devices, and test strips... but after several hours and hundreds of dollars invested in making this system work, it's time to move on. I hope you have better luck.

So found out that I'm a diabetic (no surprise, father is type 2 and found out in his 50s as well) so I immediately started looking for a tester that was pocket size, easy to use, and easy to read. I kept coming back to the Dario unit because I always have my phone with me and the fact that it just plugs into the phone and works with an app really impressed me. My only concern was how accurate it would be, and some of the reviews have been all over the place on accuracy. The only other concern was the proprietary nature of the strips themselves. I've not tried different strips in this, but since I've been using this for the last couple of months, the only real issue I've run into is sometimes, almost randomly, some of the strips read as having been used and they haven't been. It's maybe 2-3% total, so not significant but it always seems to happen at a bad time. Ease of use has been great, plug into the phone, open the app, insert strip, do the jab (the different settings are great, I have two fingers that only work on maximum so it's nice being able to adjust it) and then put a tiny amount on the strip. It doesn't take much blood at all, and the strips suck up the blood pretty quickly. I have to test on the run sometimes and it's nice that the bare minimum of blood is needed for a successful test. I got some test solutions to check accuracy and also compared it with the tester my doctor’s office uses and was quite happy to find that samples were generally within 5 points so accuracy hasn’t been an issue at all from what I can check. I got a case for it, but in a pinch I can carry it in a pocket without the case and still be able to test comfortably (I used it while at a basketball game in the stands without issue). It's so small even other diabetics see it and want to know what it is and how it works and get excited when I show them. For the price and simplicity of use and need for a tiny amount of blood I couldn't be happier with this device.

I've never been excited about diabetic supplies before, but this monitor is the smallest I've seen and I've been dealing with my tracking my blood sugar for over 30 years. It is compact, everything contained within the monitor itself which is just super handy. The app is easy to manuever and the log is so easy to access for doctor appointments and such. I like that I can track my food intake, exercise and water intake to help give my doctor as much information at once as possible. I did have a day where the monitor wasn't working with my phone, but a quick restart of my phone fixed the issue.

I have an iPhone, and have had the same low tech gadget I’ve had for years for doing BG testing. I’ve never had any issues with my Verio one touch. Well, never any issues with accuracy. I could never figure out a way to download the info from the meter to my computer. So, when I saw this little meter, I was very excited to try it. The pros: very small footprint, fairly easy to use, (as long as you are patient with having it Connect to your smart phone. It does not always work the first time you plug it in), everything all enclosed in the same small unit, and super portable. My experience with customer service? They have been very helpful with trying to problem solve the issues with the meter. The cons: I have now gone through four of these. I’m currently testing 3 units, and have sent the fourth one back. It was wildly inaccurate, and after extensive troubleshooting with a tech and a manager, Dario sent me a new one, with a kit to return the old one. Two out of the four are within 20-40 ml (on either side) of my trusty old Verio. The third is within 20-50 points of each other, and with my old meter, but is only slightly less completely off base as the defective unit. Bottom line, the idea is fantastic. But, the implementation needs work. It’s impossible to tell if the inaccuracies are from the unit itself, or in the test strips (the manager that I spoke with acknowledged that the test strips are very sensitive to moisture, dirt, and damage from handling). There are a number of issues that need to be solved before this unit is worth getting. I really wanted to love it, but, this seems more like a beta test version than a final product. Today, I was at my doc’s office. They recommended a trial of the Freestyle Libre. So far, it’s really awesome. It’s pain free, no (or, at least not 4 times a day of poking fingers) pricking my fingers multiple times a day. I just wave my phone under the sensor stuck to the back of my arm, and badda bing, I have a very accurate BG measurement! Hopefully, my insurance will cover the sensors.
