I did my first test today. The lancet was easy to use and didnt cause any pain. Cant comment on the accuracy of the result but it was around what I was expecting. The overall process was quite simple... Attach test strip, enter code, draw blood, drop it to the specified location on test strip. In under 30 seconds you can see the result.
No caibration needed as opposed to the previous version.
From what I could infer, you need to enter the code corresponding to new test strips that you buy every time. I had to fiddle with it a bit, but think its going to be easy next time.

One complaint...
They did a bad job with the packaging. They gave me a new version of the product and attached the manual for the previous version which needed a calibration chip. Apparantly somebody who wrote before me also faced the same issue. So had to contact their customer care to send in an updated guide.
So if you bought this item and cant locate the calibration chip mentioned in the manual you probably are looking at the wrong guide.

Over all a handy tool guys...

This review is from: Q.STEPS Biometer Dual Monitoring System for Glucose and Cholesterol (Health and Beauty)

Very difficult to get a reading. I've read and repeated the instructions many times over. After figuring it out I took two readings less than a full minute apart and they show very different numbers (4.5 and 6.3 mmol or which is 80mg/dl and 110mg/dl). You can completely cover the semicircle with blood and it may still indicate that you need more blood. It's really exasperating to bleed so much and not be able to get an answer when you need it. It's even more exasperating when you can't trust the answer you got.

Waste of money. Very difficult just to learn that it doesn't really work.

Because the tool came only with one Cholesterol strip I tried the Glucose test first. Ok. Whenn I executed the Cholesterol test the tool shut down before the result was shown. After turn on error.
