Accu-Chek Guide Diabetes Meter for Diabetic Blood Glucose Monitoring (Meter Only)

Works perfectly as described

Fast shipping, product is amazing!

My sweet 5 month old baby boy was diagnosed with Congenital Hyperinsulinism at 3 weeks old after being in the NICU with severely low blood sugar for weeks. He is on medications to keep his sugar levels up but we still have to check him several times a day.We use the Accuchek Guide meter that was given to us at the end of our NICU stay. I ordered the control solution because I am always worried that our meter isn’t accurate for some reason and needs to be calibrated. It was affordable and came in the mail quick with prime. It was super simple to use and to be honest I didn’t even ready the instructions. Like the blood requirement when testing It only requires a very very small drop onto the test strip and then I just followed what the meter said to do. You have to be careful though because the solution comes out really quickly. So far, it has worked great and we haven’t had any issue or our meter read out of range with the solutions. We use it every time we open a new container of test strip or have to change the batteries in the meter and it has always been accurate and within range. We have even compare it to our hospital and doctors readings with at visits. This has helped keep my mind at ease that I am getting very close to correct blood sugar readings on my sweet boy when at home!

Been using this for a while now. It’s accurate, consistent, and easy to use. Unlike other meters you do not need to calibrate the test strips or the meter. It only needs a small amount of blood to make its measurements. Connects via Bluetooth to your phone to their app so you can manage your diabetes: keep track of measurements, keep track of foods, meds, insulin, etc.if you’re nerdy, you can export the measurements to excel so you can play with the numbers if you so desire.

I messed up on my first order, thinking it was meter,strips,lancets. I misread...no meter. So I got meter yeasterday & there was no lancing device. Sold separately. I found at Walgreens for 1/2 the price of Amazon.It does say meter only but who in their right mind would think it didn't have a unit to get blood out of my finger? They need to add "lancing device not included" or "sold separately".The meter is nice. Small & compact, easy to use. It says it's compatible with phone app & they did suggest one & all I found in app store wanted $$. It's not that important.

Works great

Excellent

Purchased the Accu-Chek FastClix Glucose Monitor Kit first and then got this one to have two (one for home, one for work). I really like the test strip dispenser and FastClix lancer that Accu-Check has. They both save time and make checking your levels so much more convenient. I hated fishing out the test strips out of my tester brand and having to load the lancer each time.The main differences between the Guide Me and the Guide are the color display on the Guide (nice but not a big deal), the light at the test strip (didn't think it would matter, but surprisingly I use it a lot), easier to select circumstance for the testing (before meal, after meal, fasting, etc). Does seem to upload to your phone app until you power down. Both testers are tied to my phone app and update the app whenever I test.I am sure the accuracy is the same as the Guide Me. I suspect no home tester is ever really accurate. Even the control solutions have a 30 mg/Dl range for Level 1. I did check several test over several days with both the Guide Me and the Guide and they were within a point or two of each other.Amount of blood required for the test is small.I have not used the Accu-Chek Softclix Lancing Device that came with it yet. But just because I really like the convenience of the FastClix. I purchased an extra for my work one.
