About DARIO Smart Glucose Monitor Kit
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
65% praised for its accurate readings, while 35% experienced inconsistent results
I checked the accuracy of the blood-glucose-monitor by comparing it with the tester my doctors office uses and found that samples were generally within 5 points, indicating good accuracy.
After checking multiple times over the next few days, on the Dario and other testers, my reading never exceeded 120.
I found the test strips to be inaccurate, showing 40-70 points higher than the Freestyle when I compared them.
I checked my glucose levels 1 hour apart after consuming nothing to eat due to concern about the monitor's accuracy.

62% appreciated the long battery life, but 38% experienced frequent battery drain
I needed a portable device that could fit easily in my purse.
After going through the scripted troubleshooting, I found the device to be defective and it should be replaced.
73% found it easy to operate, but 27% struggled with the complexity
The iPhone app is easy to use and read. It integrates with Apple Health and my doctor/nurse likes to see the results during checkups.
The device is easy for me to use as a millennial, but my parents/grandparents may struggle with it due to the need for an app and extra steps to read it on their phone.
63% liked the high-quality test strips, though 37% experienced expired or faulty strips
I have noticed that the test strip quality of this blood glucose monitor is not consistent over time. Newly opened test strips are accurate for the first 15 days, but the accuracy decreases as the test strips get older.
I felt that the reading was off from my norm and deduced that there might be something wrong with the strips themselves.
The Dario meter and strips have a large reading discrepancy. I compared the readings with my previous meter and found that the Dario meter is always off in the high range.
I compared the results of two different devices and found that they gave vastly different readings.
