Simplistic & great value
Great product, this is the second time I’ve ordered and this time I’ve doubled my order. As a recently diagnosed diabetic, I’ve found this product to be invaluable as a way of monitoring my daily blood sugar levels.

They work!
At last, on the third attempt, I got test strips that work with the meter I had already bought. It clearly says on the website that these are for the meter 'with voice' which I've got. I don't think Sinocare makes it at all clear which strips you need as replacements, and it would be really helpful if their strips worked with all meters they make. GlucoRx, which my sister recommended, tells you exactly which meters the strips will work with. These were not the cheapest but I'm relieved to have got some that don't give an incorrect error message.

A fab bit of kit that helps Diabetics at home.
These strips are very easy to use in your Sinocare safe Diabetes tester machine. Simply place the strip in the machine, prick your finger and place blood onto the end of the strip. The machine then will tell you how much high or low the sugar is in your blood. Remove the strip and dispose.each time you test your blood a new strip is needed. They are essential for keeping track of your blood sugar.No need to bother your GP or nurse. Easy, quick and safe.

Accuracy Issues Explained - Sampling Methodology
So I noted one day a large spread of results. Read the comments and saw some people with concerns regarding accuracy. What I have done is used 99% iso-propyl alcohol to properly clean my hands before using the product. I avoid touching the sample tip and use a cleaned finger to push the sample strip home. Then when sampling, I insert the blue tip at around a 60-degree angle to the blood spot, and the blood is then drawn up into the space between the blue end. I found out the correct method after watching nurses take some samples. Do not drag the sample tip on the skin either. Keep in mind with such a low volume, only a small amount of impurities are needed to skew the result. I tested this sampling method now regularly, and the results are not spread like before, and have around a 2-5% repeatability. Maybe not as accurate as NHS prescribed tester, but you are looking for a trend and some form of repeatability. I have noted that you should get a feeling of when your sugar is low i.e. in the low 3's, so you can use that feeling to see if the readings are far out (only if you are non-diabetic take this advice, as diabetics should start worrying when sugar levels head to 4. and will feel horrible even when close to 4, whereas normal people can run as low as 3 as the body should auto-regulate).

Use by Date too Short
Purchased these before from other source and they had a good life use by date, but these did not have and had I known I wouldn't have purchased so many as by the time I was half way through the first ones the other two were already out of date. Went back to original supplier for future

Hopeless
This product should be withdrawn from the market. It's readings are hopelessly inaccurate.

Takes 3 strips per reading so expensive way to check health
Not sure if it is the strips or the monitor but every test took 3 attempts to get a reading! Have ordered new set with different type of strip!

Do not work
Says I coded. Doesn’t work like Uncoded. Im not diabetic but needed to track for a while and I can’t with these. Totally useless.
