Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Will be a much better value than the two packs, as long as there are not more duds in the box. Never a problem with expiration dates. I am very thankful this item is available to the public and reasonable in cost.

It's a bit hectic the first time you use it. If you have trouble following instructions you should always google a1c now. I read other reviews where people messed up because they didn't prep correctly.



Cons

Pay the clinics its cheaper and most probably more reliable. Water only strip worked once.

Baffled, i recall the lab really did not get a decent sample. There is two points in the instructions where there appears to be conflict. At $10 per test i'm not really happy about the lack of customer support.

Quality


These are perfect to use to get a gauge on a1c before lab tests and seem accurately matched to average daily results for past three months


Have used this product several times and have found it to be very convenient with long shelf life


The 10 pack is perfect as none of the tests expire within the 10 month period


I used 5 of these within about 5 days 1 each day and all of them tested within two points of each other
