Customers find the glucometer straightforward to use and appreciate that it comes complete with everything needed, including 100 test strips and lancets. Moreover, they consider it a great value for monitoring blood sugar, with one customer noting it’s particularly suitable for home diabetes management. However, the functionality and accuracy receive mixed reviews – while some say it works well, others report it stops working after a day, and while some find it accurate, others experience inconsistent readings.

This glucose monitor exceeded my expectations. The kit is very complete: it includes the meter, lancets, test strips, lancing device, control solution, and a very practical case to carry it everywhere.✅ Easy to use: The instructions are clear, and the device gives fast and accurate readings.✅ Large and clear display: Ideal for seniors or those with vision problems.✅ Reliable results: I compared the results with those from the lab, and the difference is minimal.✅ Good amount of supplies: The included strips and lancets last a long time.✅ Compact case: Very useful for keeping everything organized.I recommend it to anyone who needs to monitor their glucose at home safely and affordably.

Love it
Works great but took a second to use it because I didn’t use directions and used it wrong so you do have to read directions. Once you know how to use it, it’s so super easy and kinda fun especially if you have a good read.

Not bad. Easy to use
The results are lower than what I used before. Not sure which one is accurate. The results are consistent. So I think I still can use it.

Fantastic glucose monitor system!
I am newly diagnosed with diabetes 2. I previously ordered another brand glucose monitor that came without a case. The directions in that set were printed on a paper with very tiny writing to explain how to use the monitor. There were few pictures and very brief explanations. I tried to use the test five times, but got different readings. I then was frustrated and ordered the CareLiving Blood Glucose Monitoring System. I opened the box and was thrilled! Everything was nicely packed in a sturdy, zippered bag! The set has a very nice, printed booklet explaining in detail each item in the set and exactly how to use the monitor for best results! There are many pictures and directions for each step of the process. This is one of the best users guides I have ever seen! I followed the steps and got results on the first try!

Stop wasting your money on NAME BRAND
First of all, prior to purchase I had asked “How easy is it to restock the same items included for this specific item” then I figured with no response… eh whatever its $20. I received a message from the seller, with detailed links to the said exact restocking items. I will not buy again from this seller, but the product itself was dummy proof and easy to use. Price, you cannot beat. You are wasting your money if you are still buying name brand stuff. This is honestly one of the best purchases I have made in awhile. As a non diagnosed (pretty sure) diabetic, I would definitely recommend. For those that are nosy, fasting for over 12 hours, I tested at 139. Blood pressure was 159/118….

The areLiving Blood Glucose Monitor Kit: Unmet Expectations
As someone who requires regular monitoring of my blood sugar levels, I was looking forward to trying the areLiving Blood Glucose Monitor Kit. The promise of a comprehensive kit, including a meter, lancing device, and ample test strips and lancets, seemed to be an all-in-one solution for my needs. However, my experience has unfortunately been rather disappointing, warranting a two-star rating.One significant issue is the meter’s accuracy, which is crucial for any blood glucose monitoring device. I have found the readings to be inconsistent, with a notable deviation from the readings obtained from my previously used monitor. Managing diabetes requires precision and reliability, and it is disconcerting when you cannot fully trust the results you are seeing.In addition to accuracy concerns, I’ve found the lancing device to be less than satisfactory. Even after adjusting the depth settings, the lancing device sometimes fails to draw sufficient blood for the test strip, necessitating multiple attempts. This not only adds to the discomfort of an already unpleasant task but also leads to wastage of the lancets and test strips.Speaking of test strips, another aspect I found frustrating was their packaging. They are bundled in a large container instead of individually wrapped or packaged in smaller groups. This can potentially expose a large number of strips to humidity or contamination once opened, possibly impacting their performance over time.On a more positive note, the kit is quite compact and portable, making it suitable for travel or use outside of the home. The meter itself is straightforward to use with a large, clear display. However, these features do not offset the significant issues mentioned earlier.In conclusion, while the areLiving Blood Glucose Monitor Kit seemed to offer a complete solution for home blood glucose monitoring, it falls short in some critical areas. The accuracy of readings is questionable, and the design of the lancing device and test strip packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore, I would recommend potential buyers to thoroughly consider these factors before making a purchase. I must emphasize that this review is based on my personal experience and does not reflect the experiences of all users. As with any healthcare device, individual experiences may vary.
