Easy to Use and Great Value This blood glucose monitor kit is very easy to use and comes with everything you need right out of the box. The display is large and clear, making it easy to read results, and the setup process is quick and straightforward. I appreciate that it includes a generous supply of test strips and lancets, which makes it a great value. The carrying case keeps everything organized and portable. Overall, this is a reliable, user-friendly kit that works well for daily monitoring. Highly recommended. Read more

I like this meter. Clear and easy to follow. I love that I can see the history of my readings. Good price too! Read more

Accuracy is very, very, very very questionable. Reads higher than then high end readers. Typically off by 10 to 20 points. Otherwise works well. Read more

I like this meter mainly because it is easy to use, reliable, and I think very affordable for what it does. The display is nice and easily readable. Mine came with 2 batteries (only 1 is needed), 100 testing strips and 100 lancets along with the automatic plunger. It also has a test solution to confirm the meter works correctly, and a zippered bag to keep everything together. The meter comes with software so you can upload the data to your computer, add notes, calculate averages, follow trends over time, etc. I use my meter and upload the data to my laptop every day. I then make adjustments in the foods I eat from my data log, and watch how I can reduce blood sugar spikes. There is something both satisfying and very educational about all of this. While I like the meter, there are a few issues that I don't like about the software. First is that I cannot erase data points in the meter itself. If you are playing around with it when you first get it (like I was) and you now want to erase the bad data from the good data, you can't do it (there is a way, but it involves resetting the meter). Now you can omit the bad data from entering into calculations in the software, but this is not the same as totally erasing the data. I just find it very annoying that I can't erase obviously bad data easily from the meter itself, or go back and reassign test solution data that was accidentally marked as general data. A second issue I have is that the software is very limited in what it can do. You really can't change any of the displays to perform custom calculations or make personalized plots of the data. I can move the data into another software package to do these things, but it is a hassle to do that. In any case, the software is free and it is helpful. But if you want more sophisticated analysis and graphing, you will need to use Excel or SPSS, or something similar. Most people will not need to analyze their blood glucose in such detail, but it is a shame the software is so limiting. I definitely recommend that you learn to use the free software to get the most from the meter. Read more

I’m very happy with the Metene blood glucose monitor kit. It comes with everything you need to start testing right away, including plenty of test strips and lancets. The device is very easy to use and gives results quickly. The screen is large and clear, so it’s easy to read the numbers. Read more

Very easy to use. The step by step pictures really helps especially for those who does not speak English like my parents. They were able to look at the picture instructions and figured out how to use it. It’s small so it’ll fit into purses. My dad checks his blood sugar 3X a day and batteries seems to last a long time.

I have been using the Metene TD-4116 Blood Glucose Monitor Kit for almost two years with good results. The meter works reliably, and I only had to change the AAA battery last week. I particularly like the lancing device that comes with it, as it delivers a soft touch and is easy to insert and remove the lancets. The strips are affordable and the universal lancets fit it, but Metene has a good price for refills so I have been using theirs. Unfortunately I have dropped my lancing device once too often and broken it, and can’t find separately to replace. I have not deducted a star for my clumsiness, but maybe half a star for not being able to find a replacement. I think the devices that use coded strips are esteemed more highly, so half a star for uncoded strips, just so the buyer is aware. Read more
