Does it measure the glucose level tooÉ Do I need to buy separate stripes for glucose

I've never used anything other than the Triglyceride, Cholesterol & HDL strips and I'm not sure that my CardioChek unit will work with any more then those three. But yes, IF YOU BUY THE CORRECT UNIT, then it looks like you can test a wide variety of blood tests. Here's a link to the strips they sell. http://www.cardiochek.com/products/professional-strips/test-strips

The readings are accurate. Older glucose monitors measure blood sugar in whole blood, whereas the TRUEResult meter with its TRUETest strips report the blood sugar as a plasma (not whole blood) value. Blood sugars reported by your doctor's lab, or a hospital lab, are also reported as plasma glucose values, so the results on this meter and its strips will more precisely match your doctor's reports and values. Plasma glucose is typically 10-12% higher than glucose levels reported from whole blood-based testing meters. You can always obtain "control solutions" with known glucose levels to check and ensure accuracy. I hope this information is helpful.

It's been quite a while since I purchased my last one, but at the time it was $39.95 for ONE kit at Walmart. If they have them for $19.95 now, I would assume that either the mfg dropped the price or Walmart is blowing them out to get rid of stock. This blood sugar monitor's readings were very inaccurate when I used it several years ago; I ran several tests using this unit and some others that I had, taking readings right before I had blood drawn for my regular tests. This unit was consistently off by 20 or more points every time, while my other brand testers were consistently within 5 to 8 points of the actual test results reported to my doctor.

Yes correct. I think some products have a handfull of test strips included, but only a small amount so you have to order them separately.

Yes, you can use the same strips. I started using the Nova Max Plus meter recently. You can get the meter for free and buy the strips online from American diabetes wholesale supply. The strips are about 70% cheaper than One Touch, and you can check your Ketone with the same meter. Just buy the Ketone Test Strips.

I can only respond in relation to Prodigy strips. When your blood sugar is extremely high, I find them not as accurate, but from 250 and below they read within 1 to 5 points as the Prodigy strips. I really like the little meter that fits on top of the canister of strips, so handy for your purse.

No it has a divider in between the two sides. It works great for Diabetics though.

This kit contains strips to measure total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and tryglycerides. With these values you can also calculte your LDL cholesterol. This kit however does not measure Glucose or ketones.

this meter, as with most, contained 10 strips to begin with. You will need to get more from your diabetic supplier with a prescription or from a pharmacy.

The expiration date is for the strips. From my experience, just a day after the expiry date, the meter would not read the sugar levels from the strips. Confirm with accuchek if you can.

If you mean does it work with "PX" strips, that is what I purchased. I still do not trust the glucose reading from this monitor. Anywhere from 12-20 points higher than our other monitor.

There is a small spring loaded needle for pricking, and it is loaded into the bottom of the monitor where you will later insert your test strip. You can use it on either your finger or forearm, and I consider it painless. You remove the needle and insert the test strip into the monitor. You can see it inserted in the bottom of the monitor in this small thumbnail to the left. The strip has two "wicks" that work by capillary action to draw up a very small sample of blood. You see it as 2 dots on the bottom of the test strip. It uses only a tiny bit of blood for it to work. You push the button on the monitor to get your glucose reading. This monitor will also save all your readings and they can be downloaded so you can keep track of any trends, and so can your doctor. Ahem, so you can't cheat when the doctor can see your logs. But the doctor can also spot anything that seems to be getting out of whack, like a long term and steady rise in your glucose, indicating that your diabetes is worsening; or a steady decrease in your glucose levels, indicating that your diabetes is under control and your treatment plan is working.

I believe they are both the same, the word glucose is missing that's all. All diabetic strips test sugar (glucose)levels

The code chip contains the precise calibration for the machine to the strip test vial for an accurate glucose level on blood. However, you might take other vial with other chip and have results within a range but not accurate. Specially when the readings are near the low or high levels.

One must use test strips manufactured by Roche Labs that come in a canister. Each little canister contains 17 strips. Each test strip is automatically inserted, similar to a revolver pistol), into the chamber when the device is turned on. Depending how you set your glucometer, a beep sounds when it's ready to receive a small drop of blood, and then several seconds later to reveal the test results. There are 6 canisters in a box. The label must say Accu-Chek Compact 1x17 tests. The strips do not need to be calibrated.

Yes, but the Glucose strips, capillary tubes & lancets are sold seperately & not included with the analyzer. The 3 different cholesterol test strips & supplies are also all sold seperately from the analyzer. Thank you.
