Dario 100 Blood Glucose Test Strips - Only works with Dario Monitor (25 Pack x 4)

Great combo at a lower price. Quick checkout.

Perfect

I use these in my Dario monitor, I love the 4 pack so I can have back up strips available. They are a little pricey but I was aware of that when choosing my monitor. I recommend these strips.

This product works as described. I just think it’s “unfortunate” that they “expire” and start to give false readings in a calendar.

The test strips are best on a subscription. You use them all the time, so save some money. I like that my doctor can check the test history and see the readings.

I really like this system, everything is saved on my phone. Quick & Easy.I just wish that there were smaller quantities of the test strips avavilable. Not everyone has to test daily. I am Pre-diabetic and test only once or twice a week. I have 2 cartridges of strips that will have to be thrown away because I will not use them before the expiration date.Dario, please consider a smaller quantity.

I'm not diabetic, there is no family history of the disease, and I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle. But, with all of the talk about watching your blood sugar, I purchased the Dario monitor in December 2020. I don't use it that often, only when I'm not feeling my best. I was running low on strips and lancets - I only had the samples that came with the device, so I purchased a full set.A few days ago I decided to test my glucose when I woke up. (I still had a few strips left from the original kit and didn't want to waste them. I didn't realize strips expire. There was no date printed on the strips.)My morning glucose is usually normal, about 90. This time it was 154 and I had not had any food or drink other than water. That was scary. I waited in denial a few days and this afternoon mustered the courage to test again. Four hours after I ate a healthy, high-protein breakfast (tofu scramble), my glucose registered 289. Now I'm panicking.Then after a few minutes, the calm, wise, sensible part of my brain wondered if it was giving me a false reading. I searched online and found a post on the Dario site that said that expired strips can give a false result. I immediately cracked open one of the new packs and tested again with fresh strips. My glucose was 84.Moral of the story - when you monitor your glucose, monitor the expiration date on the strips.

I have been using this for 3 months now and I waited to wrote a review as I wanted to see how it worked out. I’m very happy with this monitor and I would recommend it. I use it with an iPhone 10 and have had no issues. I don’t use the little plastic bag covers. The estimated A1C should be taken with a grains of salt. In my opinion, I think you would need to multiple times a day for this to work. With that said, and knowing that I don’t do that I will say that mine estimated my A1C accurately. It estimated it at 5.9 and the test came back at 5.8. That’s close enough for me. As far as the glucose monitoring, this also was right on the money. I checked a few minutes before they drew blood and it was spot on. That’s enough for me to think this is pretty accurate. It takes a very small drop of blood but if it’s too small the test won’t work. You just have to learn how much you need and then it will work fine for you. I imagine this is the same with any kit.As someone that has never checked glucose prior to three months ago I will share what I have learned in case it benefits anyone else. I keep the phone laying flat while I do This. I try to keep it as steady as possible. I also wash my hands really good just before using the finger prick. And dry them really well. They must be totally dry or the moisture will sku the test.My only complaint is that the test strips are rather expensive.
