Nexus Blood Glucose Monitoring System Kit (Eligible for VAT relief in the UK)

Good price for a good machine easy to use not complicated overall really good and accurate

Good product at reasonable price

I will admit to having my doubts about this machine given the price but considering it’s recommended by the British Diabetic Association so I took a chance on it. I’m am particularly impressed. Pros - firstly there is no getting away from the fact that this is a very inexpensive machine but I would it’s great value for money. The machine is easy to use, the pack comes with testing solution (definitely a perk) 10 strips, 10 lancets the machine and the lancet pen. All of this comes in a little carry case. Cons - the lancet pen is very weak, even on the highest setting it’s hard the get a blood sample, when setting the pen up I’ve never had to pull the end back to ‘arm’ it, it always sets just from setting it up. You only get 10 testing strips, given you have to rebalance the machine when you first get it and then each week, if you’re only testing once a week you’d only get 4 tests out of it. Replacement strips on Amazon run at approx £15 for 50 with lancets a similar price. Again not high on the market place. Be warned the batteries come already installed in the machine, perk batteries included but this gave me pause on whether the machine was new or had been previously used. After reading many reviews it seems they put batteries in to do final testing of the machine at the factory and leave them. This can cause the batteries not to last depending on the time between testing and purchase but any battery life is better than having batteries not included. Overall a great little machine would highly recommend.

it is really good and that it really works

This works well, is easy to use and comes with clear instructions but the testing strips are expensive if you buy privately.

Very good product, highly recommend.

I already had two different blood glucose monitors when deciding to buy this since I was not sure about them and just wanted to be reasonably sure, that is to say, as sure as one can be with these machines. My other two machines were reading slightly differently and this one reads in-between the two so I am of the opinion it is fairly accurate, but probably so are the other two. I know from years of use and other users that no matter which machine you use, you can get different readings within 5 or 10 minutes of testing, there is no 100% accuracy and I know it is the same with those used in doctors surgeries, having been tested by a nurse in one and then by a doctor just 5 minutes later and got different results. I have the feeling that most of these machines work in the same way regardless of price and this one does seem to be on a par with most of them. I consider it to be good value for money and I am happy with it. It's easy to use, I just switched on and was ready to go.

GREAT PURCHASE GREAT SERVICE
