Metene TD-4116 Blood Glucose Monitor Kit, 100 Glucometer Strips, 100 Lancets, 1 Blood Sugar Monitor, Blood Sugar Test Kit with Control Solution, Lancing Device, No Coding, Large Display

I like this meter mainly because it is easy to use, reliable, and I think very affordable for what it does. The display is nice and easily readable. Mine came with 2 batteries (only 1 is needed), 100 testing strips and 100 lancets along with the automatic plunger. It also has a test solution to confirm the meter works correctly, and a zippered bag to keep everything together.The meter comes with software so you can upload the data to your computer, add notes, calculate averages, follow trends over time, etc. I use my meter and upload the data to my laptop every day. I then make adjustments in the foods I eat from my data log, and watch how I can reduce blood sugar spikes. There is something both satisfying and very educational about all of this.While I like the meter, there are a few issues that I don't like about the software. First is that I cannot erase data points in the meter itself. If you are playing around with it when you first get it (like I was) and you now want to erase the bad data from the good data, you can't do it (there is a way, but it involves resetting the meter). Now you can omit the bad data from entering into calculations in the software, but this is not the same as totally erasing the data. I just find it very annoying that I can't erase obviously bad data easily from the meter itself, or go back and reassign test solution data that was accidentally marked as general data. A second issue I have is that the software is very limited in what it can do. You really can't change any of the displays to perform custom calculations or make personalized plots of the data. I can move the data into another software package to do these things, but it is a hassle to do that. In any case, the software is free and it is helpful. But if you want more sophisticated analysis and graphing, you will need to use Excel or SPSS, or something similar. Most people will not need to analyze their blood glucose in such detail, but it is a shame the software is so limiting. I definitely recommend that you learn to use the free software to get the most from the meter.

I have been using since the purchase of it. It's very good, working perfectly and also very accurate readings. The problem is sometimes I am afraid of the needle sticking on my finger and make me jump lolz. But overall Very Good Product

Okay, so my blood sugar A1C came back “pre diabetic” I’m very health conscious, but you know, from that Coke and Pepsi gen X, I’m borderline a bio hacker and like to know what’s going on, and let’s face it, with enough data, we don’t need docs quite as much, anyway, picked this up to do some at home testing, and honestly, for $36 idk how they do it, I did use AI (This is one of the best ways to use Chat GPT - to explain this stuff, and then offer practical diet modifications to help with blood sugar spikes, blood sugar can be complicated and making a few modifications can make things better in a lot of ways) and I watched a video on YouTube to figure it out (it’s a little daunting at first - BUT super simple once you understand it) and gauge my results, anyway, bio feedback is well worth it, and again this package is A LOT of supplies, for very little money, they even give you a way to calibrate the machine, it’s interesting and valuable and will help you to be more aware of your levels! If you’re reading this, I highly recommend giving this a try, because catching these levels early is half the battle! Great product, lots of value!***Small addition here, they give you two test-strip kits, same thing in each one, and, idk kind of odd that they give you two, until you leave one open in the bathroom, or spill it, and, again, leaving them open in the bathroom with showers and moisture could do it too, but my blood sugar/glucose readings went up like 40 points, and luckily, after a couple days of thinking I'm dying (lol kinda serious though) I thought to test the calibration fluid again, and tested the other strips, that I hadn't opened at all yet, and suddenly my blood sugar wasn't spiking, so keep in mind to actually store it carefully, probably not in the bathroom (I still do though) but the strips can go bad and give false readings. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. ;)

Accuracy is very, very, very very questionable. Reads higher than then high end readers. Typically off by 10 to 20 points. Otherwise works well.

As a first time user (newly diagnosed diabetic) I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use this; I had never used a moniter before. But the instructions were clear and it was super easy to use. Seems accurate. Comes with a nice small case that fits right in my purse.

Excellent product. The reader is high quality and easy to use. The case is cheap and the seams are torn. Unlike some products, you do need the case for this monitor.

A great & easy to use to check my blood sugar level. My wife and I were worried about our wellbeing and ordered one to regularly check our blood sugar level. It was confusing in beginning but after reading the instructions, I got it right away. Quick and easy kit for beginners.

Works well at measuring blood glucose. I feel the lancet could be a little more effective. Really have to press down when releasing to draw blood.
