Customer Rating: Summary: MY DISSAPOINTMENT AT NOTIFICATION Comment: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to reply to my purchase, l was most disgusted that you could take from me $99.00 US dollars for an item that was discontinued the same month l purchased it, as l live in South Africa and my daughter lives in the USA l buy me goods thru her, l tried to get the test strips the same time l bought the monitor and then heard that they were discontinued, to my disgust l was unable to notify them as they were on an answering machine, so as at this time l am a very unhappy customer who feels that it was dishonest of you not to tell me that the lifestream was discontinued but you still took my money. Customer Rating: Summary: Lifestream went out of business-can't get strips Comment: This product did work fine until earlier this year when it became impossible to buy replacement strips. I have been contacting Lifestream for several months, by e-mail an phone, and can't get a response. I found out last week on a health forum that the company has gone out of business, due to lask of financial backing.Don't waste you time and money! Customer Rating: Summary: Cheap construction Comment: First time I tried to use it, it broke. Customer service mailed me a UPS call tag to send it back for repair, but I haven't had time to repackage, etc and to wait ? to get it back. Definitely not up to par. Customer Rating: Summary: URELIABLE Comment: I wasted alot of money on various test strips and blood collection devices -as well as time talking to customer support. If you want an accurate reading on your cholestorol, DON'T use this. Customer Rating: Summary: Steep learning curve but accurate. Works fine for me. Comment: The machine works fine, but a lay person may have trouble poking finger and squeezing a LARGE drop of blood onto the strip to make it work. Take practice. It works similar to a glucometer used to check blood sugar for diabetes except it requires a much bigger drop of blood and the strips are much more expensive. Another caveat is it only gives you the TOTAL cholesterol level. If you have cholesterol checked at doctor's office, you usually get total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and LDL levels.
