Dario Health 12+

Great device. Easy tests.

Device took about one week to be delivered. Device is relatively easy to use. Best thing about it is that the lancing can hardly be felt. Just try to make it the lowest penetration possible, and it hardly feels like a pinch. You can get enough blood out to work with the device, which isn’t that much and it stop bleeding immediately. Most times I have to pitch to get some blood out but the very limited amount is fine. Getting the test strip cartridges out is easy but a little cumbersome because they’re so super thin. When you have to replace the full cartridge, it can get stuck because it’s really tight, so you possibly need a plier. Otherwise, device is really good, the recording of the measurement is really good too. Not as clear about recording your food and making them combos, and/or changing the address of where the test is at on measurement screen which seems to be fixed to the wrong address, but it is good. Counselor calls you when you sign up, and as you start using it to discuss your situation if you go on the professional plan. My lowering of blood glucose levels given a change in diet, exercise, and use of another app to help with food GL loads has been substantial in just a week.

Makes life easier

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I am bee busy and wanted a monitoring system that was small and compact but recorded my readings. This Dario is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is so small and compact, but is packed with all the essentials needed to monitor and manage my blood sugar. The app helps me to stay on top of my overall health when’ll as it relates to diabetes. I am anxiously awaiting the 25 day mark because it states that the app has a function that calculates and averages the reading and gives an approximate A1c reading. Since using this Dario, I am motivated to make good food choices and exercise more regularly because it feels good to meet my daily goals. Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about the Dario and no... I am not working for Dario. I am just excited about how much more practical my life became after purchasing this system.

Amazing product. Disgusting in app ads and pop-ups

First off, a type 1 diabetic reviewing this app. I love this app. I love this product. Literally holds me back from upgrading to a CGM or something else, this app is easy to use and perfect for an active lifestyle without carrying the bulk of a traditional glucose meter kit. I felt embarrassed bringing my old meters around that beeped and the obnoxiously large Fanny pack pouch. This product was a godsend since it uses my number one carry on: my iPhone.

Now, the app. First, it’s useful and user friendly. Simply plug your Dario into the lightning port and even the app will pull itself up to get a glucose reading. Super simple. Where this company goes wrong is the HORRIBLE and RIDICULOUS advertisements they push off almost every time I launch the app. I’m used to a quick test method and before I can measure my blood sugar, the company shoves a full screen advertisement for their test strips, plans, and offers. No thanks Dario, I’m good. This is repulsive. I’m only using the app to test my blood sugar, not spend even more time wasting my time and money on plans. The app used to not have these pop ups, but there’s no other way to turn these off. Ridiculous. Shame on you Dario.
