sinocare Safe AQ UG Blood Sugar Test Strips, 50pcs Blood Glucose Test Strips + 50pcs Twist Lans. for Safe AQ UG Bi-Function Monitor, Diabetes Test Strips.

I have a tendancy for high uric acid (Gout attacks x2 per annum) and i thought id try this as guessing just doesnt work. I can see how my Uric acid levels rise when i am a little naughty off the menu etc. Its extremely useful so far. You blood sample has to be dripped into the side of the measuring strip not the top like the instructions can be interepreted as saying. Its top for glucose and side for Uric. Brilliant so far, memory for looking at last and easy to change from Uric to Glucose

The Uric Acid / Blood Sugar Monitor arrived apparently undamaged. I inserted the batteries, but instead of the Date/Time Screen appearing, the Results Screen appeared instead. I removed and re-inserted the batteries a number of times, but the Date/Time Screen would not appear. As this is the initial phase of the monitor set-up, I was unable to proceed further, and so the product was useless. I contacted the manufacturer's website for help - as suggested on the leaflet that came with the monitor, but received no response. I did not return the monitor, as I take the view that if the manufacturer (Sinocare) were not interested in responding to a customer query, they might not return my money, and they would probably sell the returned monitor to someone else, and make more money from this useless product. OK, so I lost just shy of £38.00, but at least Sinocare won't make any more money out of this piece of junk.

This seems to work very well indeed. Easy to set up and perform the tests. Very good that it can test 2 things at once. I am very pleased with the tester and would recommend it.

Now I've worked out how to use it, it's ok. I had to ask a nurse to show to show me. For the blood sugar testing stick you have to put the blood in the end, and the other for uric acid on the side. So I've wasted a few trying to get it to work. I'm not sure if you can do one test without the other, which I did want to do. I hope you can buy extra sharps as these will run out first if I do this. The instructions are in tiny print, not so good for me to read. We had to Google how to do the blood test, and how to get the results. I've no idea if it's accurate, but my readings were within range when we tried it yesterday. It has a nice little case, which was an added bonus. So I'm giving it a 4 as it's quite fiddly, but I'm set up now so hopefully it will be ok.

Excellent works well

Rubbish. Setting date easy enough but when it comes to reading the strips, nothing. Fingers full of holes but still doesn’t work. Maybe it needs an armful!

Intuitive to use, with virtually no setup—just pop in the USB once for the UA strips. It’s fascinating to measure and see in real time how your diet affects your health. The only downside is that around 30% of the microchipped test strips fail. Using the strips themselves isn’t difficult or awkward, so the cost of replacement strips feels a bit high. Overall, a useful and informative meter for tracking uric acid and glucose levels at home.

Great piece of kit for testing Uric acid levels (gout), not tested blood sugar yet. You get test kits with barcodes for scanning into the machine for accuracy.
