Does it measure the glucose level too&Eacute; Do I need to buy separate stripes for glucose
1061438
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

For Each test You will use one test strip. Starter pack contains 10 glucose test strips, 2 cholesterol and 10 Uric acid test strips. If You still need do test more (and You need it) You must order additional test strips of what You need to measure.

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.

There is a Control Solution that is mentioned in the booklet manual that comes with it to test the unit to make sure it is working but it does not come with it. Also, from what I have read about the other True test glucose unites online, you can get the control Solution for free by visiting their website and they will send it to you. I have not tried this however.

The ACCU-CHEK confort curve test strips are no longer being made. You will have to call the company and they will send you a new glucose testing machine.

No. If your blood sugar is very high you will be prompted to check ketones by your meter. These strips only test blood sugar. Ketosis is generally only in type 1 diabetics.

Yes, it does. I got another blood tester. It's TrueResult. I like it better. I don't have to insert a code of strips every time starting new strips because it is code less.Natalya

My father is diabetic, and my mother tests him at least twice a day. Since I am not 100% positive, even though it says it can be used in any machine, I am double checking with the company. I would hate for you to get them and find out they don't work. Though in my Mother's experience with different glucose meters, some meters don't work right, regardless of the strips used, and some strips are a 'bad' batch from the beginning. Tomorrow I should have a response from the company.

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.

Packaging may vary. Mine came with the meter, 10 glucose strips, 2 ketone strips, control solution (to check each batch of strips for accuracy with the meter), a lancing device and about 8-10 lancets.

Yes, two different units and use different strips. The Next is the more recent unit. I've used both and they work well. I think the Next may use a slightly smaller sample.

There are 10 glucose strips inside the box. No ketone strips. The meter can measure both ketone and glucose but you need to buy the ketone strips separately.

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. The readings are accurate.

I contacted the manufacturer with the question: Does it calculate sugar? And the response was no, not separately; carbs is what is calculated, and that sugars is part of that reading. That does not help diabetics (my husband has type 2), so I can not focus on obtaining other nutrition scales that do provide this separate info. Now I will zero in on the scales that do give this info separately from total carbs

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.

i don't quite understand this question/as long as you have a bayer contour glucometer, it doesn't matter what the lot numbers are it all works that's the beauty of this machine! that's why i switched from the other one that needed the little slide in number do dad....bayer is so easy to use and i am so pleased to get the test tapes, without going to the pharmacy and paying the 25.00 for the dr's visit etc......
