5.0 out of 5 stars Works Good, but Strips Are Cheap
recently picked up the AUVON Blood Glucose Monitor Kit, and overall, it works well for monitoring my blood sugar levels. The device is easy to use and gives results quickly. The display is clear and simple to read, which makes the whole process a lot less stressful.However, my only issue is with the test strips—they feel a bit cheap and are not as sturdy as some others I’ve used. They do the job, but I’ve noticed a couple of times when they’ve been a little inconsistent in terms of how much blood they absorb. That said, they are still functional and accurate enough for everyday testing.Overall, it’s a solid glucose meter, and the price is reasonable for what you get. Just be prepared to deal with some slightly flimsy strips, but the monitor itself works great. Would recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option!

4.0 out of 5 stars I trust the readings (for now?)
I just had my labs taken because I am feeling some kind of issue going on. I got this to monitor my blood glucose to figure out if that is part of it.Pros:- Readings seem accurate. My lab showed 80 and this is giving me numbers right near 80 normally.- Plenty of lances and strips at a reasonable cost.- Seems like a good kit for a new person to testing.- There are instructional videos out there. Search "Auvon blood glucose monitoring system Instructions how to use". This will save time and ensure you are doing things right.- Device is pretty easy to use and to look at your old results or daily averages.Cons:- No control solution to confirm accuracy of testing device, this could be dangerous for people at high risk of medical issues (-1 star). I don't know if it is possible to get control solution for this device and make sure it is properly calibrated.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great meter if you're looking for overall glucose level; not for precise blood glucose levels.
I decided to give this blood glucose meter 5 stars instead of 4 stars after realizing the meter is accurate in giving the ballpark ranges that it was designed to give.I was at first looking for a meter that would give precise BG levels; if I did two tests in a row I expected to get the same number or only a few points variation. (I have done 3-4 tests in a row - same finger, same blood and same finger, different blood sample - and never got the same number once. I have gotten close and had 2 different readings in a row that were only 2-3 points off on multiple occasions, as well as readings that were up to 30 points difference)I was concerned about the readings that were up to 30 points off because with hypoglycemia, a reading of 90 or lower (although within normal range, for me, are the ranges where I start to experience severe hypoglycemic symptoms) is much different than only a 10 point difference of 100, where I feel a lot better.You can imagine my concern with feeling that these wide ranges from one reading to the next in a row, left me feeling confused on what to believe my BG was to the point that on a few occasions, although I was pleased with everything else - the meter being easy to read and seemed to work without a hitch, the slides seemed fine and the lancets and lancet device good setting range that worked for me so that it did not cause bruising or much pain when pricking myself - I considered asking for a replacement or going with a different meter altogether out of concern that the meter was defective.However - after 4 weeks of testing my blood glucose up to 8x a day (tracking up to 3 hours after every meal) I have noticed that the meter has a pattern in how it measures your sugar levels and does accurately pick up whether your blood sugar levels are within a range of low, medium or high. However, it will not necessarily give you a precise reading of exactly how high or low.I noticed this when first awakening before breakfast, my numbers can range from 80 to 99, but I noticed the range is never over 100.After I eat a low sugar meal, the ranges are always over 100 and under 150.And if my blood sugar is high (I can tell because of how different I feel compared to when I have low blood sugar) and when I get that feeling, the test reflects ranges that are much higher anywhere between 150 - 185.I have never eaten a high sugar meal and gotten a low range within the 80s, 90s or even low 100s.And I have never gotten a reading before breakfast that was 100+ or a random high 100s.So that alone alleviated my suspicions that the meter was inaccurate and confirmed that although not precise, it is sensitive enough to pick up low, medium and high levels of BG.And to add, with testing 3 consecutive hours out after eating, I noticed the numbers do decrease. Occassionally the 2nd hour meal will be a higher number than the first hour meal (presumably because the protein is spiking the sugar the 2nd hour out) but the 3rd hour always seems to be lower than the 2nd hour, so that decrease in blood sugar over time after eating to me means that the meter seems to be picking up on the changes in sugar levels.So, my takeaway is that this meter is accurate in picking up where abouts your blood sugar is based on varying low, medium and high ranges, but don't expect a precise measurement.To add, I happened to read the manual after seeing this trend (usually a good idea and answers your unknowns, right? lol) and it states why someone can test their blood sugar levels 2x and get a different reading, due to the different levels of sugar in the blood with each sample but the numbers of 130 and 150, still reflect that your blood sugar is on the higher side.This is the pattern I found to be true with my readings. So, although it is not as accurate as I wanted, once seeing the trend, I feel satisfied enough with the overall accuracy of this meter knowing that it will give me a ballpark idea of whether I am low or high without fail.If ballpark is what you're looking for, then this meter does the job every time. If you're looking for a precise measurement, though, this meter is not the one you're looking for.
1.0 out of 5 stars Control Solution No Longer Available
The control solution for this blood glucose monitor is not available for sale in the US. This makes the entire device rather useless.Every manufacturer insists that you must use that company's control solution to calibrate their devices.There is no universally compatible control solution out there.I bought this just a few days ago, and in all that time I have not been able to find the Auvon branded control solution for sale anywhere!If you go directly to the company webpage, it is no longer available - they don't even list it in their product directory!I initiated a "live chat" customer support session, with a caption that their usual response time is a few minutes, either within the supposed "live chat" or via email, and 15 hours later no response of any kind.Without the control solution, every reading of the device is questionable, and that is dangerous!You're supposed to use it- the first time you use a new device,- as well as every time you open a new package of test strips,- as well as anytime you're getting questionable readings that don't make sense.Dealbreaker.Also, the cheap lancing device is problematic - the depth gauge is inconsistent, requiring different depths each time before it finally works.The choice is between the cheapo lancing device being the problem, or the highly regulated lancets themselves, and I'm voting for the lancing device.It's not a serious problem, as you can just get a quality lancing device and use it for the rest of your life, but in conjunction with having no control solution?Give this kit a hard pass!
5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed
Very easy to use.
