Can one finger stick provide a reading for total cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides? Is this FDA approved?

Only cardiochek PA (professional) can provide a reading for all three with one finger stick. The one I currently have, requires a separate finger stick for every one of them. In terms of FDA, I am not really sure.

Don't feel dumb. There are so many meters/strips it can be confusing. Onetouch Delica are the lancets used to prick the skin to get a drop of blood. The meter you have is either a Onetouch Ultra or Ultra mini. My meter is a Onetouch Ultra Mini and the testing strips you are asking about work great in my meter. You should be fine using these strips.

Do not under any circumstances get this product It is not at all accurate and there is absolutely no way to tell that without direct comparison to a traditional blood-pressure device. I don't think the tones can be silenced, but that is the least of your worries. Any unit you buy must be tested against a regular unit for accuracy or you are taking a chance on trusting bad data. I have found that the units you will find available for free use at most pharmacies are reliably accurate, so you can test against them without having to go to a doctor. I can tell you now, though, that the unit in question is not accurate. Whether that is a function of taking the pressure at the wrist or because the unit itself is inferior, I can't tell you.

Hi Lula, I only used this meter on mice. we compared this meter with others including one touch. At least on mice, the results are similar, differences are in range of 20-30. we think it's OK for our study. Hope this is helpful.

The reliability is a bit variable, as checked by my wife, an RN, using a manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. I usually tried to do the three-reading average technique but found that maintaining this cuff over my brachial artery was difficult. However, a a general method of monitoring treatment for established hypertension, I found it satisfactory.

On the box it says,"Track your blood pressure on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch."

In order for this device to be suitable for PT/INT it needs to be correlated with a device already proven such as a laboratory instrument or a fda proven device using the same methodology. Usually the manufacturer has already done studies and fda 510k that they can provide you with the information. Please keep in mind that different methodologies yield different answers. You want your home results to be in line with what your laboratory gives the dr.

The last time I checked it was FDA approved. It has been a real blessing for me as my body is very sluggish, and this works beautifully.

It has been tested by IFOS, the most reputable independent third party lab for omega-3 fish oil in the U.S.A. See my review for a further explanation. RWM

No, just lancets. However, if you look around Amazon, some vendors sell a kit (sort of). Some companies sell the One Touch meter, the One Touch Delica devise, a few lancets and maybe 10 test strips. That's how I started with OneTouch. I got everything I needed to get started really inexpensively. Look around Amazon. You may find a good deal also.

Absolutely. I am a home care nurse and I use this device all the time on adults. It is fast, accurate, sanitary because it doesn't touch anything, and so easy to use. I also got one for my daughter to use with her children. It can be used for anyone. I HIGHLY recommend it. Most of my patients want to get one after they see how it works. 5 stars, for sure!

No it won't. It requires a smaller amount of blood than others. It has a little "drop" icon that showes until there is enough blood in the stick then it showes dashes until the testing is complete then it displays the result. I had mine tested at my doctors office and it resulted very close to their monitor. They said closer even than most others they have tested. Hope this helps. :)

Yes. A slight click has always been heard. I've had this therostat for a number of years and it works perfectly.

I don't know, but what I know is that in combination with Cholestoff my cholesterol went down 130 points in one month. My doctor thought he had the wrong chart. Also, I followed the dietician advise of unprocessed food and organic beef and chicken.

No; save your money. I used it for two months following directions on the bottle. I had my cholesterol checked and the numbers did not improve one bit. In fact, my HDL (good cholesterol) went down which is not good.
