Annoying if you have a case

As others have mentioned, this will not work if you have a case on your phone. I bought an extender and it wouldn't read the strip. I tried two different strips then took my case off and plugged it in directly and that one worked.Also, as others mentioned, read the fine print on what this will work with. I tried with my tablet to avoid the case issue but of course they aren't compatible (lenovo tablet that is an andriod), I couldn't even download the app on my tablet.As far as accuracy, I cant…

Pros
  • With 10 sterile lancets included, this kit allows you to easily take a blood sample without worrying about the risk of infection
Cons
  • The device may not work well when too hot or too cold

Very good but the connector is too short

I would give this product 5 stars except for the USB-C being too short for the phone when the case is on. I have used the old style with the headphone connector and that worked great. My new phone doesn't have a headphone jack so I was forced to buy the USB-C style Dario. When I first tried it, it didn't connect at all. Then I tried removing the protective case and it worked perfectly. So, ease of use is rated only 3 stars.

Pros
  • ✔️ NO BATTERIES OR CODING NEEDED - Simply plug the tiny meter to your phone and download the Dario app.
Cons
  • It may not store results of previous tests

BEWARE IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ALL PHONE MODELS!

I ordered this meter because of the apparent convenience and it certainly would be if it worked with my phone.I had no idea that it was not compatible with my Samsung Note 20 with USB C charging port until I just read a review by someone else alerting about this.I ordered mine and waited a short time to use it because of still having supplies for my other meter.When I used it the readings were very high so I called my Dr and she put me immediatelyon Metformen as a result.After a very short time

Pros
  • I like its smaller. And accurate but it's still alot of work.
Cons
  • The device can be difficult to use for some users

Love and Hate best in my review

Love how compact and simple this kit is. The interface is well laid out and intuitive. Measuring glucose is very straight forward.I like the way measurements are displayed and the abilty to add notes, track blood pressure, meals etc. What's not to love?The usb device is no longer works on my phone (2 weeks old). I looked up the suggested tips in their own online help file. Not that I hadn't already tried them. I installed and tested on a second phone and it worked perfectly. I reopened the app…

Pros
  • Diabetes Care
Cons
  • The device may not provide accurate readings in certain situations

Do not believe the hype

It is small and convenient, but that's where it's pro's stop. The built in lancing device stopped functioning entirely with less than two weeks of normal use. The reading is good enough to give a general idea of where your numbers are but if you are needing the numbers to adjust a sliding scale this product does not give accurate enough readings for that. The reading it gives you is +or- 20 from what your actual glucose measurement is, if you depend on accurate numbers for a strict sliding…

Pros
  • Enjoy peace of mind with the reliable and accurate blood glucose readings provided by the DARIO Blood Glucose Monitor Kit
Cons
  • The device's battery life can be short

Very useful device in a manageable unit

The reason for four stars is the inability to use the device directly with an armored case. I first tried to use an extension cable which inhibited reading the blood glucose although the machine recognized the strip insertion. I then got a Cellularize USB-C extension which was compatible with the device. The device itself is compact and holds the reading unit, the strips(in a secure case locked into a dedicated socket), and a lancet device all within a watch-pocket size case. You have to load…

Pros
  • The monitor requires only a tiny blood sample, making the testing process quick and painless
Cons
  • It may be hard to find replacement parts for the device

This was so simple out of the box

I'm pre-diabetic and trying to really pin down my levels and work to keep on track so I decided to purchase this. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to use it but I'm so happy to report that this was easy to set up and easy to use. I love that everything conveniently fits into the case and it's a very small unit. The app is also great as it helps you track it and will over time give you an estimate of your AICI level. I highly recommend this monitor!

Pros
  • The DARIO app includes a food database, making it easy to log your meals and track your glucose readings
Cons
  • The lancets can cause bruising or bleeding

Great Device poor customer service

I have 2 of the devices. One that I keep at work and one that I keep at home. The one I keep at home is the newer of the two. I recently had to replace my phone. The older Dario works perfectly with the new phone. The newer Dario acts like it is going to work but does not read the strips. Then gives me a warning about acceptable phone types? I have contacted Dario via email and they do not respond. The phone is the new Pixel Pro 7. Pretty common.

Pros
  • The monitor is designed to provide you with consistent results, reducing the risk of false readings
Cons
  • The device may not provide accurate readings if the test strips are expired

Very compact! good for me

I love it, very small, easy to use. Though I feel like some parts can be slightly refined to make the moving parts smoother. But overall very good.

Pros
  • The kit is affordable and represents excellent value for money
Cons
  • The device may not be user-friendly for elderly users

Really great and simple product!

I gave this blood glucose meter to my mom for Mother's Day. I was a little worried about if it'd be easy enough for her to use the phone application, since she's older and not so tech savvy, but so far she's loving it and it's working really well. She hated carrying around all the equipment to test her blood and this meter makes it so much easier, which means she actually tests more and I can stop bugging her about it. It's also helpful that it doesn't require a battery. In the past, the…

Pros
  • The monitor comes with a hypoallergenic adhesive patch, ensuring that it will stay in place during testing
Cons
  • The device requires frequent calibration to ensure accuracy

It's not all that.

There just seems to be a lot of steps to this blood machine. You still have to carry a zip pack, for everything else you need. And it reads into your phone but you can't forward it on to your DR. It's not all I expected.

Pros
  • The monitor requires no coding, making it easy and straightforward to use
Cons
  • The device can be difficult to use for people with low vision
