I truly appreciate this video! Nothing in the box describes how to assemble & use the lancet device! Even looking the kit online only tells you to use the lancet device, but nothing more. You saved me a huge amount of stress! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you so much for making this video. You explained everything so well. I purchase it after my other meter gave me a 293 fasting, I couldn’t believe it and tested again and it gave me a 173, and than a 143. Something told me to get a different meter and I purchase this one, it gave me a 108.

Interestingly, it appears the ReliOn Platinum meter is a rebranded Accu-Chek Instant meter. The Accu-Chek Instant does not seem to be sold in North America or Australia, only in Europe and Asia. But to get an Accu-Check meter and test strips for these prices is a fantastic bargain! Thank you Roche and Walmart!

The review was very helpful. I just had my first blood sugar test. The first two reading got me an Err 4 message. I googled it, and it said that it was not enough blood for the test. 120 for the third reading one hour after my first meal. How often should I check my blood glucose levels? I am close to pre-diabetes levels and have a type-2 in the close family. Thank you for your time and effort!
@PharmacistTips Жыл бұрын
At first, I would test at least 4 times a day (upon waking and 2 hours after each meal) to get a good feeling of your blood sugar during the day. It is also a good idea to keep track of your physically activity and food intake. Once you have a feeling for how lifestyle changes affect your blood sugar you probably only need to check once a day to track your progress.

Thank you for sharing, I appreciate, and I also have a question. My brother was just told he has diabetes, and this is the device he bought. So far, we have only used it twice, once before dinner and once a couple hours after dinner. Before dinner said 175 and after dinner said 325, so I want to know if this thing clears its self out or does it add up the numbers from each test because this just seems wrong

I cannot find replacement lancets for the platinum lancer. The only ones that I see are for the other versions of the lancer. But the shank of the lancet that fits into the spring grip is too big. The platinum one is thin with two ridges on opposite sides of the needle's shank. Any suggestions? Thanks.

what do you mean 180 is in the green zone? Anything over 126 (or close to that) is high.
@PharmacistTips Жыл бұрын
The green zone defaults to 70-180 mg/dL. You can personalize the green zone using the app or connecting to a pc with the appropriate diabetes management software.
@williamofockham1222 Жыл бұрын
180 is a very high fasting number, but is okay for after a meal with substantial carbohydrates. Under 170 is better.

Is anyone having any similar issues as myself? I bought the Reli On platinum glucose metre and it came with some sample lancets. The lancets that come inside the box with the glucose metre or perfect But of course you have to purchase new ones and for the life of me I cannot find the exact same ones anywhere. The ones that came in the box with the glucose metre actually make a small prick. And it actually draws blood. So when I bought two different kinds - ultra thin and extra thin, instead of creating a prick it looks like it drags. Like it actually drags on my finger. Now mind you I press the device up against my finger so it's not like it is floating and moving around with my hand movements but for whatever reason as soon as the needle hits my finger instead of a prick it creates a long dragging cut which then spreads the blood out over an area versus creating a droplet which then causes my reader not to be able to capture enough blood. I would love to know how to get those lancets that come with the package and apparently I'm not the only one I was looking at the boxes at Walmart to see if it any chance told you which ones they are and they were all opened and all of them were missing the lancets so it seems to me that people are stealing the lancets from the box because everyone knows those are the best.

Cheap meter and my experience very unreliable results I get results that are 60+ points higher than with better quality brands. Even back to back results with this meter gives huge differences in readings again in my experience 50+ points difference with tests within 1 to 2 minute of each other with this machine its better than nothing if you don’t have insurance but there are companies that will provide anyone with or without insurance free meter and all supplies free of charge
