I think the product itself is probably ok. There's a newer version the L7 that costs more but seems to have more capability. I did not have the device long enough to determine accuracy because I returned it. Why? The device displays total cholesterol, HDL, and Triglycerides. The documentation shows the ability to test these three as well as getting a calculated LDL. However, the HDL test strips were not included in the kit and they were not available for purchase. Until you get the kit and open it, it's difficult to know what capabilities it actually has and the product description avoids indicating HDL testing despite it appearing on the device itself. I reached out to customer service and they indicated that the HDL (and therefore LDL) strips are no longer available. This rendered the product moot for me. I was offered an upgrade, but even the upgrade cost was more than this device (L5) and kit together. I decided to return the product. Frustrating because it probably can't be used again by anyone else and some better clarity on the product description would have saved time and money and possibly steered me toward the L7 in the first place.So if you are ok with just total cholesterol and triglycerides, this product will at least test those. If you need HDL / LDL, then look at the L7 or other products. Check the price on the L7 and the test strips for the L7 to make sure it meets your budget needs long term.

I wanted to monitor lipids once a month. it comes with collectors that require 5ul of blood for TC or trypglycerides. You need a separate sample foreach Most of the devices that read TC, Try, and HDL require a single 40ul ( it's probably easier to be accurate with a larger sample. The Lab Blood sample are much larger 2 - 4 ml)The one downside I have is trouble collecting even the smaller samples 5ul. They do not give suggestions on ways to increase the size of the blood drop needed. This device was tested by the FDA and they concluded it was accurate.

This machine was a little hard to set up at 1st,you have really got to take time out to set it up,the down side is only 25 strips and they are 25$ and up,also you have got to make sure you get enough blood on the strip or it will not work correctly,but the numbers were excellent and the same as my doctors numbers,so great product to me

For context, my wife is a trained nurse and I have a biochemistry degree. We both know very well how to collect blood and run tests. That said, this device never worked reliably for us.Collecting the right amount of blood has been hit or miss with the entire 25 count capillary set. We got a little better over time, but never to the point that we felt “ok, this just works “.I bought the unit to monitor my cholesterol. It looked like I was getting progressively better and reaching 150 mg/dl. Because the value clearly and repeatably dropped I trusted the trend, even if not the absolute value. Then I had my annual checkup and cholesterol was at 248 mg/dl compared to last years 233. I had made no progress at all, but the Curo unit made me think I was on the right track.Worse still, my triglycerides came back at 247 mg/dl from the lab. So out of curiosity I measured triglycerides at home within 2h of the lab test. The Curo unit showed 338 mg/dl. Useless!So don’t waste your money, you cannot get reliable results to track your health with this unit and its test strips.

This instructions on this product are confusing and I keep receiving errors causing me to go thru a lot of test strips. Never works correctly the first test causing use of lots of test strips. I would not recomend this product, to frustrating to use. Low quality.

First, I would like to say that I am medical student. I've spent years collecting blood samples and running tests like these in lab. Therefore, it's unlikely that the bad experience I had with this product is due to human error, per se. The instructions are very clear and as you'd expect of similar products.For the strips that came in the box, I had to use multiple strips before I finally was able to get a reading. In addition, consecutive reading, taking at the same time, varied completely from each other. If you read the instruction correctly, the margin of error for this device (and the strips) is between 10-30% which is very significant for someone is borderline.That said, I also purchased the LDL strips directly from the company's website. I waisted 6 strips and was not able to get a reading for LDL; not to mention all 6 readings being completely different despite being taking at the same time.Company initially offered 40% restocking fee for the strips, but they replied with a second email saying that all products sales are "FINAL."I'd say, buy it, try it, and see if it works for you. Make sure you buy it from amazon and not from the companies website, they do not guarantee their product. Worst case, you'll have the Amazon guarantee.
