It looks like if you sign up for the monthly plan, the glucose meter kit is free, which is great cuz i was about to buy it but this works out even better! It makes sense, good sales strategy.
Thanks for sharing the information. I use the Ambrosia Blucon with Libre, It helps me to get constant readings on my Apple Watch and iPhone, the alarms help me at night. It is a much more reliable and accurate cgm with a low cost. I loved!
Great review One Drop should hire you to do instructional videos showing how to use their meter for their web. I got answers to questions I had been looking for from your review.
Hey, nice review! The only thing I'd wanna ask: i'm indecisive about buying One Drop full subscription, partly cause i live in russia, and sadly, they don't ship to my region... but there is always a way to solve such an issue, so..nevermind. The question I have is what does this mean "THE LIMITLESS STRIPS". I mean, how do u get 'em? Do you recieve it every month? Or u just have a subscription and have all the q.ty u need in one piece shipping at a time once a year? Btw I think that 40 dollars per month is quite a bargain for the testrips supply stoc.
Nice video, I am using Freestyle Libre US 14days with Ambrosia Blucon over 8 months now, it converts Libre sensor into a full CGM and you will be able to see glucose readings every 5 minutes on phone and watch without scanning the Libre sensor. Now I don't need to scan the Libre sensor and gets reading every 5 minutes on my iPhone
How is this different from the CVS Health Advanced Bluetooth Glucose Meter? $0.20 per strip for the CVS brand seems like a better deal than $0.50 per strip for these.
My drug store is sending me a free meter to try. But: Strips Subscription plans seem silly here in Canada, where provincial/private insurances pay for the strips. I do not see how this meter is better that my Contour One. They have all the same software features, minus the chrome. I don't think I am target market.
I don't think they go through insurance. You pay like.. $35 bucks a month? Without insurance for unlimited test strips, 24/7 expert coaching, and support. So.. pretty darn good for not using insurance.
That's up to the insurance company, not One Drop. I'm pretty sure the answer is zero. But this was intended to help people without insurance. Super reasonable price for strips. They actually cost me less than my copay on the ones that my insurance does "cover".
I don't think so. Most have a relationship with a more established company. However, for me, the strip subscriptions without insurance are cheaper than my Accu-chek costs with insurance. The meter is only $70.
The App looks slick on the Apple system but I am an Android user. I would love to see the App actually work on an Android. Also there is nothing about how accurate the meter readings are. My insurance currently is forcing me to use a meter that meets FDA standards but Consumer Reports does not recommend because of consistancy and accuracy (actually lack thereof) issues.
When Ive compared to my OneTouch, it seems very accurate, and it is FDA approved and meets their standards, so it should meet any of that criteria. Android support should be out soon if it is out yet.
One Touch is not the comparison I would hope for. I would love to see accuracy testing results of the One Drop meter by Consumer Reports or another independent labratory. I know that all One Touch meters (which includes what you used for comparison) failed to get a recomendation due to accuracy concerns (or the lack thereof) in the latest Consumer Reports review of BG meters One touch is the brand that my insurance forced to to start using and when I compared it to the Contour Next (#3 on Consumer Reports top 10 list of BG meters) that I had been using with great results, the One Touch was always much higher (25 to 50 points every test). In the two months since I was forced to switch I have had two instances where I was experiencing hypo symptoms to a level I could barely function but the One Touch meter gave me a reading of 90+. I have no confidence in the One Touch meter as a basis for calculating exact correction doses for fast acting insulin to give me tight BG control and calculating insulin doses IS THE ONLY REASON I TEST.
Thats alarming you were receiving such drastic differences in those readings. Ive never experienced such discrepancies. Im sure CR will have a review up eventually, but OneDrop is just so new.
I have had the app since October 2016 when I found out it was first released for Android and am diligent to update it frequently but there are many KEY FEATURES that are in the iOS version that are still missing from the Android version. Missing features include the ability to create/print/send a report to a member of your healthcare team or any other sharing of your logbook information short of handing them the phone during your visit and have them scroll through the screens. If you can't get the data back out it doesn't do that much good to put it in. I was promised quick updates but it has been 6 months already and I am still waiting.
No its been out for a while. You could order it online at apple.com But it wasnt until this week they some stores were stocking their shelfs with the product.
I regret getting these I’ve check my blood on two meters an both show about the same number 220 an 222 an I tried one plus twice an showed 280 an second time showed 300 I was disappointed!!!
Nice video. I was curious about this one!

I have Libre and Blucon cgm, both are working wonderful and I always track glucose on the phone.
How can I order it
Do you still receive the app's functionality without the monthly subscription plan?

How can I buy i

Does insurance cover the cost?

Nice video, it helps explain how the contents of the box works.
Andrew, I have an IPhone and a PC. Will One Drop communicate with both?
This is the one I want for christmas
lol...did you get it?
Does it only work with Apple and iOS?

Great and helpful review. I think I will get a different meter and your review got me to that point! All the best to you !

I do not see how this meter is better that my Contour One. They have all the same software features, minus the chrome. I don't think I am target market.
I want to see your demonstrate of how to use it!
Great review! Thank you for the video. Subbed.
Llllllooľl
Nice review. I'm Diabetic and this sounds great. Do you know what insurance they accept? Thanks 😀

Ok
Great video!
Wow, this is amazing! Too bad I don't live in the US, so having the strips forwarded to me is cost prohibitive.
Wonder if it is covered by any health insurance?
I don't think so. Most have a relationship with a more established company. However, for me, the strip subscriptions without insurance are cheaper than my Accu-chek costs with insurance. The meter is only $70.
Looks nice

There is an Android app
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=today.onedrop.android

I thought this was just released in the Apple retail store.
No its been out for a while. You could order it online at apple.com But it wasnt until this week they some stores were stocking their shelfs with the product.
Can you print the results? Or email them?
+Cristian Escamilla yes, you can easily export your data, and get it to your doctor
Great review, and thanks for the info. How much are the lancets and can you regulate how often you receive them?
+John Walton standard lancets. I just pick them up at CVS.
I wish they were stainless steel I like things when they have a little weight😁😄 idk if that’s just me...!
I regret getting these I’ve check my blood on two meters an both show about the same number 220 an 222 an I tried one plus twice an showed 280 an second time showed 300 I was disappointed!!!
App is no good compared with the polished product, you can try Dnurse APP, way cool
