Quick Home Blood Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides Test Kit - CURO L5 Digital Meter - Easy Use, Accurate Results, Comprehensive Health Tracking, Portable Design, and All-Inclusive Kit

This machine was a little hard to set up at 1st,you have really got to take time out to set it up,the down side is only 25 strips and they are 25$ and up,also you have got to make sure you get enough blood on the strip or it will not work correctly,but the numbers were excellent and the same as my doctors numbers,so great product to me

For context, my wife is a trained nurse and I have a biochemistry degree. We both know very well how to collect blood and run tests. That said, this device never worked reliably for us.Collecting the right amount of blood has been hit or miss with the entire 25 count capillary set. We got a little better over time, but never to the point that we felt “ok, this just works “.I bought the unit to monitor my cholesterol. It looked like I was getting progressively better and reaching 150 mg/dl. Because the value clearly and repeatably dropped I trusted the trend, even if not the absolute value. Then I had my annual checkup and cholesterol was at 248 mg/dl compared to last years 233. I had made no progress at all, but the Curo unit made me think I was on the right track.Worse still, my triglycerides came back at 247 mg/dl from the lab. So out of curiosity I measured triglycerides at home within 2h of the lab test. The Curo unit showed 338 mg/dl. Useless!So don’t waste your money, you cannot get reliable results to track your health with this unit and its test strips.

Worked great. Easy to use and read

Not bad

I've wasted half of the supplied TG test strips trying to get this to work. No luck. The problem? The capillary tubed don't workHow embarrassing that a company, any company would ship something so obviously untestedI've ordered real capillary tunes from Amazon and will see if the product works at all. I might be back with more info if I can get it workingRevised:I ordered 3rd party capillary tubes from other sellers here on Amazon and was able to use the meter successfully.I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the device until I get my lab work done. I'll try to remember to return here and report how accurate it is.But for now, at least it works, partly

Purchase with confidence this is a good product 👌 it is a little to expensive

First, I would like to say that I am medical student. I've spent years collecting blood samples and running tests like these in lab. Therefore, it's unlikely that the bad experience I had with this product is due to human error, per se. The instructions are very clear and as you'd expect of similar products.For the strips that came in the box, I had to use multiple strips before I finally was able to get a reading. In addition, consecutive reading, taking at the same time, varied completely from each other. If you read the instruction correctly, the margin of error for this device (and the strips) is between 10-30% which is very significant for someone is borderline.That said, I also purchased the LDL strips directly from the company's website. I waisted 6 strips and was not able to get a reading for LDL; not to mention all 6 readings being completely different despite being taking at the same time.Company initially offered 40% restocking fee for the strips, but they replied with a second email saying that all products sales are "FINAL."I'd say, buy it, try it, and see if it works for you. Make sure you buy it from amazon and not from the companies website, they do not guarantee their product. Worst case, you'll have the Amazon guarantee.

The product seems to work fine and properly.I would purchase again if needed.
