sinocareSafe AQ UG Uric Acid Test Strips 50 pcs, Only for sinocare Safe AQ UG Blood Glucose & Uric Acid MonitorClimatePartner certified

I am diabetic and get free glucose testing kit. I bought a Sinocare monitor with both glucose and uric acid monitoring after developing symptoms of gout and I only have to stab myself once to test both at once. I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend this kit if you need to know where you are when making changes to address the issues, this is perfect.

Good clear instructions and easy to use.I had a recent gout attack and wanted to find out what foods were raising the amount of Uric acid in my blood and causing the issue.

The uric acid test is not accurate it throws out random numbers as you can see in the photos. All the tests were done in about 10 mins of each other. It’s not user error as I was doing glucose tests at the same time and they were all coming out very close if not the same. So to sum up the glucose test works but the uric acid does not. I would not recommend this tester for uric acid but if you are testing only glucose it would work fine

This test is very good. There are negative reviews which clearly show the user didn’t understand how to use the test. Make sure you add the blood to the side of the test trip not the bottom. I was worried about accuracy so I took a blood test immediately after a lab test. It was out by about 20 points which for a home test is not bad.My rheumatologist decided to lower the frequency of my meds as my UA was below 200. After a couple of days I decided to take a test to see what had happened and noticed my blood UA had shot up to 410 which is enough to cause a gout attack. I immediately returned to my normal frequency and will go back to see my specialist. Thank goodness I had the ability to keep an eye on things and act before it got bad.

So I bought this because my tic acid has been out of control lately. When this arrived I had trouble getting it to work until I watched an online video. The first result was 747 which was crazy. After the video found there was a calibration usb stick so did that. The next results were 589 and then 599, again high but my last blood test was in 500’s and I did have some red wine and beer the night before. About a week later (yesterday) I had a blood test and tested again immediately when I got him from it to compare (I forgot to take it with me as I was going to test it at the same time). The blood test from the hospital was 447 and 1.5 hours later after the drive home the meter was 439 (pictures attached). Close so possibly a good indicator of where you are at. I will use more but at this stage I won’t rely on it. I’ll post an update when I have my next blood test.

I am a veteran lab/chemist 20+ years, now modeller, worked with many lab instruments (just to show some merit in this review), and this kit is quite typical for lab use. Without having an actual calibration sample to test with, the next best thing I did was compare with NHS lab results, and they were within acceptable range (I measured 368umol UA, the lab was 360umol). If you read the description, results may differ by 20%, which is very typical for lab equipment, especially equipment which use test strips. Ensure you get enough blood from pricking your finger, and the test strip does a great job of taking a sample of your blood.I would recommend this to anyone who wants to monitor UA, and the glucose is useful as well, but maybe a continuous glucose monitor might be better. Set your expectations as per note above and you won't be disappointed. I've learned a lot about my body using this kit.

I bought this product to monitor my uric acid levels as I suffer from gout flare ups.Now you're supposed to not take readings when you have a flare as they will come out lower than normal, so these readings are 2 weeks after the symptoms subsided.As you can see the results are a bit spread out, the first saying I have a high reading, second a normal, and third borderline. Therefore do not accept the first reading you do!This machine could be used as a good guide for your UA levels, but do not take the readings as gospel and go to your clinic for an accurate reading.
