iHealth Smart Wireless Gluco Monitoring with 100 Test Strips, 100 Lancets and Control Solution

I love this meter! I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I have to watch my numbers really closely. I wanted something that would track my numbers for me because I knew I wouldn’t write them down consistently. I love that it shows trends and will color the numbers differently if they’re high or low. Mine has worked perfectly with my iPhone 8. It works best if I open the app first and then insert the strip to turn on the device.

I purchased this so that my readings would automatically be uploaded into Apple's Health app. The only two things that this unit does well is upload the data to Apples system and provide a very nice chart that can be exported of your logbook. What this unit fails at is providing accurate readings. My very first reading out of the box returned with a blood sugar reading of 40, EXTREMELY LOW (this happened twice more throughout my testing phase). I had no symptoms of having low blood sugar and I immediately checked with my Bayer Contour One, which has provided me with consistent readings, and my blood sugar was 72. I redid it with the Smart testing kit and came back with a reading that was closer. Over the next few weeks I continually tested with both machines. The Smart system would occasionally be within 5-10 points of the Contour One. On many occasions it was off by almost 20 points and on several it was off by 30 points. I even ran the control solution through it several times and the unit still consistently provided results that were off (always low). Because of the inaccurate readings, I can't trust my health to it. At best it is worthless and at worst it can lead you into a false sense of security that your blood sugar levers are OK when they in fact are not. I will be going back to my Bayer Contour One unit that has provided me with accurate results.

Product exactly as described. Arrived a little early. My Husband was recently told he was diabetic and we had no idea what to do. The simple monitor and bluetooth connection allowed him to regulate his sugar easily and move from liquid insulin to pills in just a few weeks. The bluetooth feature kept all of his information and history easily accessible for the doctor visits. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a sugar/insulin management program.

I love the ease of the device and the app. It’s also a convenient size and the pouch holds everything. You can get some wild readings if you wipe your finger with an alcohol pad. It takes so little blood, that the alcohol can dilute it and cause a low read. I suggest just washing your hands and wiping away the first drop if blood.

I cannot imagine that so expensive strips expire. iHealth expects me to use it everyday. This is wrong. Also, the overall experience to test everytime is not that obvious/easy. Some times, it fails with ERR and then wastes a strip. Non-Bluetooth like Accu-check is way better from the efficiency point of view. I can keep my measures in an excelsheet. This fancy bluetooth is useless for me.

This device works nicely with or without your smartphone. It is made with high quality and is extremely easy to use. No batteries to worry about as it is rechargeable. The integration with Apple HealthKit is great for sharing data with our healthcare professionals.

I bought this on Sunday, came on Tuesday, and I go to use for the first time Wednesday morning, and the strips won't work in the machine, because they expired on 3/29/19. One reason I picked this unit, is because it says the strips will last longer than the others I looked at. But if they send you a set of strips that expired 4 months before you bought the unit, that isn't going to work. This pisses me off, as I just found out I needed to start doing this, and now I wasted this much time getting this unit.

I bought this for my grandmother who is 78 years old and she loves it! She uses it everyday and loves the app so she can show me and everyone else her number for the day lol. She even opens the app to show her physicians her average and daily numbers if they ask. Very easy to set up and it keeps her compliant.
