Easy to use and read the levels of glucose. Very compact. Only -1 is that you don’t have space to keep and tansport lancets. Differences of 30 between readings after 1 minute.

I like the little case for it, i think its pretty cute, easy for carrying it around. It only has 25 blood strips which isnt that much but good enough for a couple of weeks iverall its pretty good.

I have tried other standard products in the past but had my doubts about this product. Using this now for 2 weeks and with the app, I have a better control of my A1C and also my daily food consumption, medicine reminders and steps all built into one easy to use system and app.

The New One Drop system

I found this a very good system for use at home. It and itself is a great tool that connects to the internet easily. It also counts steps and encourages you to push your body at a pace set for you. The leather carrying case is easy to store and use.
However, there's no storage room required to make it a kit for travel at all. You need a separate case or vessel to take along insulin, needles, lancelets, alcohol wipes and trash.
It is also so new supply tools cannot be bought on the open market-you must buy these from the company.
As I said, great for home, but I was looking for a good set for work. I'm still looking.

I am not sure if the glucose levels are accurate. It gives me different numbers each time a minute apart. I think is gives the numbers a little on the high side.

It makes keeping track of your blood sugar super easy, especially with an iPhone. You might think you can manually keep track of everything, but be honest with yourself. Looks cool. Case is better than I thought it would be.

Doesn't deserve ONE star! was consistently off, above and below by 20 to 100 points. Doesn't come with a glucose tester and I tested against the Accu Aviva and was always off with my Doctors readings.

I am not very happy with this blood glucose monitor. It consistently records levels at least 30 mg/dl's above my Freestyle and OneTouch units.

Nicely designed carrying case, easy to use, painless finger pricks. Downside is the cost of testing strips.

I have used this glucose tester more often than any others I’ve ever had. I like the fact that it works with my iPhone and keeps track of the results in addition to food, BP, activity. My results have even gone down. I’m very happy with it.

The unit performs well but requires you to sign off on a lot of privacy disclosures some of which the links were not working but that eventually resolved.
In addition you get 25 strips but strangely only 10 lancets! Now I like to replace my lancet after 2-3 pricks so this seems pretty stingy. The blue tooth interface is good but can be problematic trying to hold connection. Nice to see data on the phone but my meter does the same and covered by my insurance fully.
The kit is nice but pretty hard to carry in a pant pocket but ideal I guess if you carry a purse or backpack or something similar.
In the end it is much more difficult to use and more costly than my One Touch ultra meter and strips. My insurance covers the one Touch entirely and at present when I contacted my doctor about this system, prior authorization would be needed before it might be cover.
In the end too much privacy releases needed and the cost is currrently much higher than my insurance covered system.

After a week of double-lancing (triple, at times) to compare with another glucometer, the One Drop was consistently higher by 30-50.

Item didn’t work correctly and while Best Buy said it was returnable and even allowed me to print a return label the return center sent it back and said they don’t allow returns of health-related items. So I am stuck with a defective item and out of money. I’m just glad it was on sale so I didn’t get taken for more!

I got this to monitor my blood sugar. I'm pre-diabetic so learning where I stand is awesome. It syncs with my phone seamlessly and the app is very user friendly. It's easy to carry this around in the included leather pouch. It all fits nice and snug. The supplies are not exactly cheap, but I think that's how all diabetes supplies are.
