“I already talked to someone about this issue, but the reason I only gave it four stars instead of five is because of the test strips. I love the meter, it works great and it's easy to use, that is if I can get the strip out of the package. I'm a disabled senior with arthritis and I cannot tear open the packages that contain the individually wrapped strips. I was really hoping they would be available in a vial which is what's going to happen. As soon as I have time I'm going to sit here and cut open every strip package that I have and put them in a vial that I have left over from my blood glucose strips. It's a pain having to find scissors and cut the strip package open every time I want to use them, and then go through the stress of am I going to cut that precious strip and make it unusable. As I said I already talked to someone about this and they said the next round of manufacturing the strips are going to have a slit in them making them easier to tear. I personally would much rather have them in the vial, but you guys have chosen not to do that. So if it wasn't for the difficulty of opening the little strip packages you would have got five stars.”
“I'm new to Keto and testing and this kit does the trick. Simple/easy to use. That said, the kit comes with instructions that state clearly the unit needs to be calibrated before use with the included control solutions. The instructions ask you to refer to the information on the "box" to calibrate but the strips didn't come in a box. After contacting Support (via chat) I was informed that the unit is calibrated at the factory before shipping and no calibration is required. The person on chat seemed upset when I suggested Keto-Mojo might consider updating their instructions. My question now is when, if ever, do we need to calibrate the unit.”
“Very easy to use and the kit has all the material to get started. I wish that it could all be done on one strip, rather than two. Alternatively, the machine could be made to have two slots for both strips simultaneously so there is not as long a wait time using a large drop of blood to run both tests.”
