TD-4116 Blood Glucose Monitor Kit, 100 Glucometer Strips, 100 Lancets, 1 Blood Sugar Monitor, Blood Sugar Test Kit with Control Solution, Lancing Device, No Coding, Large Display

The Metene TD-4116 blood glucose monitor is easy to use and works well for home testing. It gives results quickly and has a simple design with a clear display, which makes it beginner-friendly. Many users like that it is affordable and comes with useful features like memory storage for past readings and a small blood sample requirement. However, some people mention that results can sometimes vary compared to lab tests, so it’s important to use it carefully and follow instructions properly. Overall, it is a convenient and budget-friendly device for daily blood sugar monitoring, especially for personal home use.

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.

Effective, came with lots of extra supplies. Worth the price 👌

It is easy to use; I learned how to use it and test it for accuracy, using the control solution, on YouTube. I do not use the Bluetooth. It serves my purposes.

The features are nice. Seems accurate, although some strips in the last order are reading high, after rechecking gluc. Still recommend this.

Ben using this meter and products for 4 years, old meter was not accurate, this was recommended in a search as good tolerance in a search I did. Never regrated the change to this product, very happy, easy to use, easy read.

I had a serious infection and am prediabetic. My sugar shot up and I needed to both monitor my blood glucose level as well as find out what I could eat and what I could not eat, what affected the glucose level. This was a game changer and so helpful. Once I figured it out, how to use it, the instructions are not totally clear, it’s been so helpful. The details of setting up the monitor, placing the strips in place, etc. was a little bit unclear. But once I figured it out, it’s been amazing. I highly recommend it. I had to go to YouTube to find out how to exactly set it up and use it effectively.

Very difficult to set up meter. After 20 min. I finally got date and time set, but could not setup QC test
