Customer Reviews

Very inaccurate
I've used the CardioChek 6 times, and had my cholesterol checked at a doctor's office during the same period. My cholesterol levels according to the doctor's tests are always around 200. With the CardioChek they vary by as much as 90 points. It is a lot of trouble (and expensive) to purchase 3 sets of test strips and stab myself 3 times to test total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, and Triglycerides. No test strips are included in the package when I purchased the CardioChek. The box says "includes check strips" but those are something other than test strips.

bad test strips
I bought this product and the accuracy depends on having good test strips.
I simultaneously had bloodwork at the Doctor's office when I did the test.
Except for the total cholesterol, all the other tests were off. The manual states to check for the blue color at the back of the test strips after the test is done. Except for total cholestrol the other test strips did not have a blue color. The test strips which are expensive were bad. I am planning on returning this product

Would not recommend buying it !!!
I purchased the product . Found it to be not accurate. Also in order to get your LDL result you have to use 3 types of strips and a formula to calculate it - Costly !! cumbersome !!! 3 times "niddle" your fingers !!

I returned the product.
