GLUCOMEN AREO

In a word, yes. I was switched to it against my will because it was cheaper and I estimate I wasted at least 1 strip a day....so 30 a month!

 

Er2 : test strip damaged or blood sample applied before the drop icon started on display

Er3: blood sample did not fill sample area of strip

Or take battery out it may reset it self.
I was given 3 all with problems

 

Hi viking wulf, since i was issued mine, I have continually had problems with it. Ranging from, early on being unable to download the results to the app after 3 weeks of no problems, to strips regularly failing daily. I keep highlighting the issue, but am regularly told as its the unit that is now issued, to stick with it. I doubled my prescription of strips as a result.

I attached a picture of all the error codes

I most often have error 3 myself.

One thing I find is that sometimes it falls behind in time, like it had no battery for 2 hours or 3 hours? This can create erroneous graphs, in regards to glucose levels, but is most important when I'm driving.

 

I must be lucky as I have been using this one for about 9 months and I have only suffered an error code about three/four times unril quite recently when I dropped it. Rang the number in the booklet and they were very helpful sending a replacement at no cost.

It may be worth giving them a call to see if they can help.

 

I've definitely dropped mine, many times.

 

Just call glucomen they will post you another meter

 

Hmmmm! Sounds like a user error more than the meter being at fault.

I have just changed meters. and where I used to gather the sample on the side of the strip on the old one I now have to siphon it up at the bottom.

I think I wasted two strips before I got into the new way of testing habit...

 

Yes pretty regular - needs way more blood than my Accu-chek Aviva.

 

Aviva need 0.6u if blood which is more

 

My comments on this meter are similar. If you phone the company they will send you a replacement meter. Unfortunately that will go the same way.

At a recent appointment locally I was told they are looking for a replacement as there have been so many issues highlighted.

 

I'll call them tomorrow, thanks.

Glad to hear there might be a change coming too, hopefully it'll ripple through to my trust

 

Just out of interest has anybody down loaded results to the app. I was ask test 4 times a day for 3 months, when looking at the results I found I was getting 3to4 figures for the same date with different years

 

I have dates on my meter for later this year, which will be interesting for my averages

I wasn't impressed in honesty. They updated the app since then, it seems more stable

 

In theory yes, in practice definitely no - but I think that's down to the effectiveness of the capilliary attraction on the strips.
