sinocare Safe AQ Voice Blood Glucose Monitor

Very good

This is the first glucometer I have bought, having just been diagnosed with very mild diabetes. I did quite a lot of research, and decided that this one was the best at this price point. I noted that, regardless of the number of reviews, the percentage of poor ones is always roughly the same. The complaints are always the same, too. I therefore discarded them as noise. The Sinocare kit is well-equipped: one monitor unit; two batteries; two bottles of test strips; one spring-loaded finger pricker;and one box of lancets. The test strips have a long expiry date and last three months once opened. I find the monitor consistent, with no sign of the variance seen by others if tests are done close to each other. I closely follow the procedure recommended by diabetes.co.uk - I prepare the kit, wash hands with soap and water, dry hands thoroughly, prick finger, and collect sample as quickly as possible. When I did the tests closely in time, I used different sites for the sample, so the blood was fresh each time. In conclusion, I'm very happy with this kit. It dies what it is supposed to, and helps me to get the data I need to manage my diabetes.

Bought this for my father and it is super easy to use and reliable. There is a voice telling what to do.. easy to do and read results because a light (green orange or red) tells if results are good or not. Also including a table with reference values to interpret results.

It took a few attempts to work out how to get a reading. Once you've used the lancet injector, and produced a drop of blood the instructions say to put the blood onto the test strip pad. This is wrong. Look at the end of the test strip, when it is inserted in the device (Note that the blue and white part is uppermost). You'll see two black pads, linked together with three little black lines. See the photo Dip the edge of the testing strip where the gap is, into the small blood spot on your finger. Like dipping a Toast Soldier into a soft boiled egg. You don't need to smear the drop on top of the strip as I was initially trying, and wondering if the meter was knackered. A small amount of blood is sucked up by capillary action, and starts the countdown timer after which your result is shown in mmol/L. The amount of blood needed is minuscule once you know how to use this device. I wasted several test strips and lancets before I worked out what to do. The lancet autojet device is supposed to show a red dot through the clear button. There is no red dot on mine, but looking closely you'll see the viewing window on the button goes from showing a white bar, to a white circle (where the red paint should be). Access to the hole where the lancet goes is achieved by unscrewing the part where the the pin depth is shown. I have mine set to 4. I also noted that the device tends to cock itself when pushing the lancet into the hole, no need to cock the autojet by pulling the cocking handle on the rear. Using the autojet feels like being pinged with a small elastic band. It's not painful. The kit comes in a quite frankly cheap little case. I'll be changing the case to something more robust, and better made. Probably a small compact camera case, or similar. A blood glucose indicator card is supplied, showing the mmol/L with a conversion to mg/dl (how the Americans measure blood glucose). I found this card to be broadly useless. The colour scheme uses green to show a 'borderline' high reading instead of green to be a normal (non diabetic) level. Normal is blue. I'll use the info on diabetes.co.uk or diabetes.org.uk The reason for dropping a star in each category is mainly down to what I thought is unclear instructions, the crappy blood chart, and a poor storage case. The meter and autojet are made of a decent standard, as you'd hope. Would I buy this again, given a choice? Yes.

Worked very well easy to use at a reasonable price I was lucky only needed to check my sugar for a short time but you get all you need to do 50 tests with the option to buy exter if needed

Good product

This product came soaked inside out, product didn’t work but the company reached out to me, the product was replaced with a brand new one. Excellent customer service.

This is my first blood sugar monitor. Having type 2 I had to supply my own and this is perfect for that. Easy to use and set up, a degree in rocket science is not needed, just common sense. It's quick, gives clear results in mmols and the fact that it reads the results out is very useful. On top of all that it's an inexpensive kit. I thoroughly recommend it if you have not used a monitor before. 😀

👍

Good one

The results are incorrect. They show 30 points less than the actual, and the machine mostly shows an E-3 Error. So, most of the test strips are not usable.

Results shown by the glucometer are incorrect and unreliable.. Pathetic product Don't but this product The vials seem to be fake as you can't authenticate them through QR code so it's day light fraud committed on consumers
