CholesTrak HDL and Total Cholesterol Home Test Kit Review

CholesTrak HDL and Total Cholesterol Home Test Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok.. I just paid $25 to find out that I am not a doctor and I should go to one if I need my cholesterol checked.
First of all, it does not give you the HDL/LDL and triglycerides breakdown. Only total cholesterol and HDL. You need to be able to squeeze out a huge drop of blood. No matter how much I warmed up my hands and milked and milked my finger, enough blood needed for the test would not leave my body. Hence, the little button telling you that the result is ready never went up. They only give you one needle per each test.
Verdict for me: It's not worth it.
I suppose only if you are sure that you'll get enough blood get this. Hopefully, it might work.

Nature's Bounty Cinnamon 1000mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 3) Review

Nature's Bounty Cinnamon 1000mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 3)
Average Reviews:

This is not 1000 mg per capsule. It is 1000 mg PER SERVING and each serving is 2 500 mg capsules. This is very miss leading and designed to confuse price shoppers. There are 100 500 mg capsules in each of the 3 bottles.

Glucerna Snack Bar for People with Diabetes, Chocolate Caramel, 4-1.41 oz. Bar Packages (Pack of 6) Review

If you love caramel and need something sweet these bars work out perfectly. I use them in place of a candy bar. They are only 150 calories but they taste like more. I use them to diet with even though they are for people with diabetes. They fill you up and don't give you the sugar high. I eat one and I'm not hungry again for a few hours. My husband likes them too! I have tried many low glycemic bars and these have been the best tasting. They satisfy the sweet cravings.

Bayer's Microlet Lancets, Single Use, 100 Lancets (Pack of 2) Review

Bayer's Microlet Lancets, Single Use, 100 Lancets (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The "Ascensia Microlet Lancets" are by far and away the least pain inducing lancets I have found for my diabetic blood sugar testing. Made to be used with the Ascensia CONTOUR Monitoring System, these lancets are almost painless on my finger tips and always draws just enough blood for a proper sample.
I have tried several other brands and "generic" lancets, all with mostly disapointing and sometimes painful results.
Highly recommended!

Having been dx'd with Diabetes a few months ago,I was on the lookout for something that could satisfy my sweet tooth.I purchased a box of these bars from Glucerna,hoping for a nice surprise. I got it.They taste good. They do not taste like you are gnawing on a block of minerals.Seriously. They are really good.
If you decide to try these,please be SURE to ask your doctor if it is acceptable for you to use these bars. Mine did,and I have used them ever since.I no longer have the cravings for sweets that I did before.

Accu-Chek Aviva Diabetes Monitoring Kit 1 kit Review

Accu-Chek Aviva Diabetes Monitoring Kit 1 kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the first time I bought a glucose meter, so I dont have anything else to compare this against. I bought this also because the test strips were more affordable than some of the other units I saw at Wal greens. I bought this and Accu-Chek Roche Aviva 50 Count (Mail Order) from here amazon.com
The unit is easy to use, and the measurements are repeatable. There is a sort of "calibration" you need to perform every time you are opening up a "new pack" of strips. I thought that was a nuisance, but then I can understand why it is required (I think this is common for all meters)
Overall, I should say I am pleased with the purchase.
