I havnt seen it before so followed the link
The thing that struck me is the costs involved - the glucose test strips are a lot more expensive than for some other meters people use ( the Tee 2 and codefree meters are free / cheap and strips are around £7.50 for 50)
The triglyceride and overall cholesterol measuring functions seem useful if accurate but at £11 each for 5 test strips makes me wonder if there are cheaper / more accurate ways of getting the same data
Ultimately I guess it depends what functions / features you are most interested in

Thank you for that info. Yes it looked expensive but I don't mind that if it works.

I'm guessing that you wish to use it for the cholesterol tests rather than blood glucose as there are significantly cheaper meters for BG monitoring?
It's not especially clear what it is measuring.. triglycerides ok fine but is it just measuring total cholesterol for the "cholesterol" measurement as if so it's not an especially useful number to have. More useful would be HDL so you could calculate your trigs/hdl ratio which would be useful. So for the cost it doesn't seem to give you much useful info.

Thanks for the info. I will probably leave alone.
