Accu-Chek Guide Diabetes Control Solution for Diabetic Blood Glucose Monitoring (Level 1 & 2 for Guide and Guide Me Test Meters)

My sweet 5 month old baby boy was diagnosed with Congenital Hyperinsulinism at 3 weeks old after being in the NICU with severely low blood sugar for weeks. He is on medications to keep his sugar levels up but we still have to check him several times a day.We use the Accuchek Guide meter that was given to us at the end of our NICU stay. I ordered the control solution because I am always worried that our meter isn’t accurate for some reason and needs to be calibrated. It was affordable and came in the mail quick with prime. It was super simple to use and to be honest I didn’t even ready the instructions. Like the blood requirement when testing It only requires a very very small drop onto the test strip and then I just followed what the meter said to do. You have to be careful though because the solution comes out really quickly. So far, it has worked great and we haven’t had any issue or our meter read out of range with the solutions. We use it every time we open a new container of test strip or have to change the batteries in the meter and it has always been accurate and within range. We have even compare it to our hospital and doctors readings with at visits. This has helped keep my mind at ease that I am getting very close to correct blood sugar readings on my sweet boy when at home!

Works all each time I used it, was easy to connect to my phone.

Been using this for a while now. It’s accurate, consistent, and easy to use. Unlike other meters you do not need to calibrate the test strips or the meter. It only needs a small amount of blood to make its measurements. Connects via Bluetooth to your phone to their app so you can manage your diabetes: keep track of measurements, keep track of foods, meds, insulin, etc.if you’re nerdy, you can export the measurements to excel so you can play with the numbers if you so desire.

Very accurate and consistent. You can take three readings back to back and be within 5 points from highest to lowest. Test strip refills are readily available and cost effective.

I messed up on my first order, thinking it was meter,strips,lancets. I misread...no meter. So I got meter yeasterday & there was no lancing device. Sold separately. I found at Walgreens for 1/2 the price of Amazon.It does say meter only but who in their right mind would think it didn't have a unit to get blood out of my finger? They need to add "lancing device not included" or "sold separately".The meter is nice. Small & compact, easy to use. It says it's compatible with phone app & they did suggest one & all I found in app store wanted $$. It's not that important.

Works just like it should.

Convenient use and accurate data,

One of the most glucose testers I have used in the past 12 years.
