Accu-Chek Active Blood Glucose Meter Kit (Multicolor)( Vial of 10 strips free)

The box of the device itself (which was inside an Amazon box that was not dented or anything) is inside a flimsy obviously re-used plastic cover, smashed and the security seal of the box itself is already open. The same thing goes with the box of the strips. I am not even going to try it and will return it right away cuz for devices such as this, it’s not safe when the seal is broken.

Save your money and Blood. Comes from India with zero quality control. Retails for $2 in India. If that’s what you’re looking for, but this. You’ll be tired of poking holes into your loved ones skin.

This doesn’t work - several readings taken at same time are all over the place. Comes from India. Very misleading.

The Box it came in looking look like it was 10 years old crushed wrinkley Security seal was broke, The Box that had that the strips was open. The meter of self was different from what was advertised.

The spot to add blood is in the middle of the strip. Recommend you insert strip into meter and then add the drop of blood. Vet inconvenient! Also got multiple errors. I hate this monitor, ordered a different one already!

Lo usé por una semana y ya no funcionaLe cambié la batería a ver si eso era el mal funcionamiento , pero no funciona.Le insertó la tirilla y no prende.

Since my Mom is diabetic , I bought her the accu-chek 8 years ago , this device last ,Im bying the same one because is easy ,and fast to manipulate , you don't find it in stores , they discontinued but htanks I find it in amazon .

Difficult to get drop of blood on the strip and cvs does not carry the strip.

Bought this for Mom. This meter includes 10 Lancet Needles, and 10 test strips.This item was Manufactured and packed on October 2018 as the box says. the package was not tampered I opened the seal by myself, but still the battery was dead. Had to buy the battery from shop for 30rs.New users those who are confused on how to use this, there is a video in youtube called "How to use Accu Chek Active Blood Glucose Monitoring system | Accu Check Demo by Happy Pumpkins" Hope this helps you.And also don't forget to register your meter so that u can get 10yrs warranty.

Let me start by giving this device 5-Stars for its good looks and brand name.From the above, I deduct 2 stars for lack of accuracy. What do I mean? Let me explain.You see, every alternate day, I was doing fasting sugar test with this device. Looking at the good results, the doctor reduced the diabetes medication dosage.Within days, my body was indicating that something was wrong. All this while however, the Accu-Check continued to show that my fasting sugar was more-or-less okay (for a diabetic). So, I went back to the doctor and he rightly suspected that the meter was giving bad readings.He prescribed two lab tests on two different days and told me to do a test with the Accu-Check at the same time as the lab took the blood sample. In both cases, the lad reading was roughly 35 mg/dl higher than that indicated by this Accu-check meter.In fact, I have an older Accu-check version that required a chip. When I tested my sugar levels with the older Accu-check meter, it too displayed a reading that was 30 mg/dl higher than the new meter. Obviously these no-chip glucometers are not as accurate as we are made to believe. At best, they only give a rough indication of the sugar level and cannot be used as a basis on which to change medication dosage.It seems glucometer reading that is off by 15% of the lab results should be considered accurate. But in this case, it was off by more than 30%.Of the remaining 3-Stars, I deduct another 2 stars for error reading. Let me explain.Very often after putting a drop of blood on the test strip (while it is in the meter), the Accu-Check meter would display an error. Result; wasted test strips and we all know how expensive these things are. Now, I'm not new to using the glucometer. I've been using the previous chip based glucometer for three years. So, yes, I know how to do the test. The number of times it displayed such errors, indicates to me something is seriously not right with this meter.So finally, we are left with just one star (I wish I could knock that off too). Should you buy this product? I'm sorry, but I have to say absolutely not !!!!

Using for about 6 months. It is so easy to use. I can't say about the accuracy. The box is very useful to carry it along with. This is a new model, and doesn't contains the slot for coding chip, which used to be provided with test strips. This makes easy for older and low educated people.

I measured my blood sugar level using this instrument and at the same time checked it through a pathological lab and it was off by 30units i.e meter had an error of +30.

Is it defective I dont Know how to insert the chip in to device.. there is no slot to insert...what's this
