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.

Program Getting Worse Not Better

I joined Dario back in 2019. I loved that you could test your sugar on your phone! That has been the best invention. I am someone who cannot use a sensor. As time has gone this program has declined. I have to replace the testing device at least twice a year. Can’t you make one that will last? Then the last nine months I consistently get told my sugar is low. Every time I test. When did a 100 become al low? Next I had a high of 221 for a short time. Now I keep getting a warning about seeing a doctor. I’ve had T1D for 30 years. You’re going to have highs at times. I don’t need to be shamed for what number my sugar reads. I’ve even got text messages scolding me for a high. Really? This is information to help me dial in better control. An ongoing challenge as a T1D person. Scolding people doesn’t make them want to test. But maybe that’s your goal? It’s definitely not what any diabetic wants or needs. This program is supposed to help you improve not tear you down.

This used to be a great program. But as time has gone the program has gotten worse. I definitely would stop using it but I love the ease of using my phone to test my blood.

Dario please improve your product! This is for your diabetic patrons and your shareholders!
