Not worth the money
First of all, insurance wont pay for this meter or your strips. If you test a lot, it gets very expensive. I test 7 times a day, before and after each meal, and at bedtime.
Second, the meter is VERY finicky when using test strips. I had a 20% failure rate on the strips until I figured out just how touchy these strips are. (And Ive been testing for 20 years!) I lost about 30 strips and IHealth tech support couldnt have cared less.
Third, the report is marginal. You can get much more meaningful reports from other glucose monitoring apps such as BGluMon.
I bought this meter as a time saver with its automatic data entry. In reality its NOT a time saver. You still have to manually enter in the category of the reading (Before Lunch, etc) if the meter gets it wrong, which is very often. You still have to enter medication and amounts.
So whats the point? All youre saving with IHealth is entering in 3 digits for your glucose reading!
It makes more sense to get a free meter, free strips, test OFTEN, and manually enter your data into another app.
I use BGluMon and the reports are excellent! Data entry is as fast or faster than IHealth.
As soon as I go through my last 4 bottles of IHealth strips, the whole thing is going into the trash can.
