5.0 out of 5 stars A great tester...., April 26, 2006

By	Katt A Shopper (VA) - See all my reviews

This is a great device. It's very easy to use, gets results in just minutes and saves on trips to the Dr's office. You check for more than just blood sugar,but to keep an eye on your cholesteral. I paid more for mine didn't know Amazon carried these, they are a much better price here including the test strips. If you go to the company website you'll pay more and the best part is you can do it in your own home first thing in the morning after the 12 hr fast instead of waiting to get to a clinic or Dr's office.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tester - We've Owned for Many Years, March 8, 2008

By	Lisa Shea "LisaShea.com" - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

We have owned this device for many years and use it fairly regularly. My boyfriend doesn't like doctors, so it's good to have the CardioChek device for nearly instant home testing whenever we wish. It's great!

The device is about the size of a long pack of cigarettes and is SUPER easy to use. You can buy a variety of test strips for it. We have the total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and Triglycerides tests. From these, you can also calculate your LDL levels quite easily.

You turn on the CardioChek, slide in whichever strip you want to use, and then add in a drop of blood. We have an AutoLancet which is a one-button push pen-like item that easily gets a drop of blood without much pain at all. Then you wait maybe 30 seconds, and the device tells you the exact number.

We haven't had any problems with this system at all. If anything, the problem we have is that I don't bleed easily and my blood refuses to leave my body :) I find that running my hand or foot under warm water for a few minutes helps out. My toes seem to work better than my fingers, and are less sensitive, too.

Highly recommended, we haven't had any problems with this at all in the many years of use.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for your peace of mind, March 30, 2007

By	Peggy Miller (Akron, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have this. It is very easy to use and understand. It is similar to many blood testing devices. So nice to be able to do a quick test on cholesterol levels without all the waiting at the doctors office. It is not a replacement for going to the doctor, but a nice test for between visits when you wonder how you are doing.
