1. 1/5Dangerous

   I am an insulin dependent diabetic and went through quite the ordeal with my Dario this weekend and would like to warn others. I have been using Dario for my meter readings for almost a year. A few days ago early in the morning when I went to test my blood sugar, the test strip read something along the lines of “Strip Error, if you try again and get the same error, contact your physician immediately”. I got the error twice, contacted the doctor, she told me to do several units of quick acting insulin, I began to get very shaky. My husband didn’t think it felt right so he went searching for one of my old One Touch meters. He brought it to me, I tested my blood sugar, it said 92… I tested it on the Dario twice more and got two consecutive readings in the 500’s. I tried different test strips for the Dario and they read 89… this could literally have killed me if I had injected more insulin thinking my blood sugar was dangerously high. I’m hoping that what happened to me doesn’t happen to anyone else. When I alerted Dario of the situation they sent me a generic email template with about 100 questions rather than addressing my concerns directly. BEWARE.

2. 4/5Convenient, Except When It’s Not

   I really love the convenience of the app and the all-in-one meter. I have an unlimited plan so I receive test strips automatically when I start to run low, and I have access to diabetes support, both of which are great. This is still a pretty new app and meter, so I expect that it will only continue to improve. Here are my thoughts: Pros: -Very easy to use to record BG, carbs, insulin dosage, and other personal notes. -Prepares detailed reports that I can email to myself or my doctors. This is great for troubleshooting, especially when I enter in the extra data. -It will send texts to people you choose if you are low or high. This is great when I’m by myself because I worry about lows. -The meter itself is tiny with strips and lancet all in one, and it plugs into my phone and automatically opens the app. And it uses only a tiny amount of blood. Cons: -When the app is open, everything else is turned off. So, your music or podcasts will pause when you check you blood sugar, which is annoying. -The app uses a diet/calorie counter app to look up food and record carbs, but there are many foods which only let you record whole servings. I frequently eat less than or more than a single serving, so then I have to manually adjust the carbs. I also haven’t found a way to log calories through the app, which would be great for people on diets. It would be easy since you already enter what you are eating. Overall, I really like this app and meter, and hopefully they’ll continue to make it even better.

3. 1/5Completely unacceptable!

   First of all I haven’t used the app for about a year and back then it wasn’t like that. This app forces you to share all your medical information whether you like it or not! You also have to select that you either have diabetes or hypertension or both! So I guess healthy people can’t use it. It forces you to enter all kinds of medical conditions you may have and there is no skip! Basically there is a skip button but it doesn’t work! If you need and app you could use in order to take casual readings for your family, avoid this one! To make things worse, there is no way to remove this info! I was trying to get a measurement of my wife’s blood sugar and it was asking me a million questions! No skip now to get an urgent measurement! So I entered anything to go though and now I can’t remove it! I have changed to not diagnosed, however the date of diagnosis has to be something. Again, you have to have diabetes to use this app!!!??? That’s insane! I wish I could have my money back!

4. 5/5Great 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.

5. 5/5Awesome glucose monitor

   I would like to share my opinion with others so they may benefit from what I believe to be an incredible device. I’ve had my Dario for about a year now, I love it! To me, it seems to use much less blood for the sample every morning. Also, everything you need is in one small unit - the tester that plugs into your phone, the test strips, and the lancets. Everything fits neatly into this small form factor, making it the “Swiss Army”, knife of diabetes. Also for traveling, this is very convenient as it’s a very small compact unit that fits very neatly into your pocket or your purse. Are you worried about your sugar when you’re away from home? Then this is perfect as it’s so tiny, in size, but huge in function. The free app they provide leverage is 2FA authentication for security, has a beautiful user interface, and is functionally rich. It maintains a very nice history of all of your testing as well as has a lot of great helps and tips to help you manage your diabetes. I recently had my A1c checked my blood work required by my doctor. In my case, the estimated A1c was almost exactly on the money. I was delighted at the accuracy. I use it every day, so I’m expecting that may contribute to the accuracy. What a great little tool. I am not sponsored in anyway by this company, I am sharing this because I have enjoyed this so much. I wanted to leave this comment so others can find out what a great product it is. Thank you, Dario for such a fantastic product for something so important.
