Clinical Review

Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals

"Highly portable and data-rich, but strip prices and phone-port dependence may deter some users."
Moderate Clinical Evidence Highly Recommended
79
Score

A two-month, 75-participant study compared Dario results to YSI reference values at three glycemic ranges. The meter achieved 96 % ISO 15197 conformity and a 9.0 % MARD. Results appear in <6 s from a 0.4 uL sample. Because the meter plugs directly into a phone's Lightning or USB-C port, no batteries are required, but users must keep an adaptor for some Android models. The Dario app offers pattern recognition and optional fee-based CDE coaching that cut average fasting glucose 12 % by week eight.
