Expert Review Summary
Our clinical assessment and verdict for each device
AUVON DS-W Bluetooth Blood Glucose Monitor Kit
"Excellent starter value; accuracy good enough for type 2 management."
A lab comparison of 90 paired readings showed a MARD of 9.8 %. Strips use GDH-FAD enzyme, require 0.6 uL, and read in 6 s. The kit includes 150 strips, 50 lancets, and a lancing device-making initial cost per test only $0.12.
Roche Accu-Chek Guide Bluetooth Glucose Meter
"A speedy, user-friendly meter with thoughtful strip design, albeit at a premium supply cost."
Guide posted a 9.8 % MARD and delivered sub-4-second readings, quickest in our lineup. The SmartPack vial and strip eject button reduced finger fumbling. Night testing was aided by a bright port light. However, coin-cell batteries and $0.52/strip pricing inflate lifetime cost. App integration with mySugr is solid but requires subscription for advanced coaching.
