Breeze 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System [Health and Beauty] This instant


The picture shown is different than the one shown when I ordered this. I can handle that. But from looking at the box I have, it says "1 Kit" and shows the 10-test disc even stating on the box "10-Test Disc for No Strip Handling." This leads me to believe, and would anyone who wishes to order this product, that the disc is included.

But look at the lower left and it says, "Uses Ascensia Breeze 2 Blood Glucose Test Strips (Not Included)." The disc is definitely NOT included.

A "kit" without a disc doesn't help if you can't use it immediately to check your blood glucose levels. I personally don't mind buying the discs. Others might. I won't discourage anyone from buying this product. Just be aware that you will need to purchase the disc separately.

EDIT: Have received my test strips and performed my first blood glucose test. The meter is easy to set up and use.It doesn't require coding which is great for those of us who want one less thing to think about. Discs are easy to insert. Test strips come up easily. It does take some getting used to tho. You have to center the strip and your drop of blood exactly to be sure sample goes in. I've found the lancets for this meter are sharper and thinner than those for my previous meters. Still, this is so easy to use. Carrying case has plenty of room for testing supplies. Am thrilled with it.Get more detail about Breeze 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System [Health and Beauty].

The First Years American Red Cross 5-second Rectal Thermometer Immediately


This thermometer is simply the best digital thermometer I have ever used. It's accurate and consistent. The only problem is that I used it so much that the battery started to drain and the readings took longer to take. The battery is almost dead now, and I can't figure out how to replace the battery. But it's less than $10, but in our green-society why would we want to throw away a whole thermometer for the sake of a dead battery?Get more detail about The First Years American Red Cross 5-second Rectal Thermometer.

BOA 2000 Hi-Speed Professional Jump Rope (9 foot) Best Quality


I have had at least 4 other jump ropes - one beaded fell apart, the others were too light and difficult to adjust. I didn't want a speed rope so if that is what you are looking for - this won't be it. It is not heavy either. It's just perfect - it doesn't get tangled at all, I didn't have to adjust it (i got the 9 ft, i'm 5'6"), but if it hits - yowch!

It's perfect, just perfect.Get more detail about BOA 2000 Hi-Speed Professional Jump Rope (9 foot).

Vibralite 3 Vibration Watch with Velcro Band - Light Blue/White Get it now!


If you are buying this for an elderly relative, think twice. Although it is easy to put on and take off (thanks to the velcro strap), the directions for setting it are a nightmare and the buttons for setting times are too small for an elderly person to use. The digital display is also very small especially for those with weak eyesight.Get more detail about Vibralite 3 Vibration Watch with Velcro Band - Light Blue/White.

Samsung Healthy Living BWB-5007 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Irregular Heartbeat Detector Buy Now


I have used this for almost a year. I take daily readings and record/graph them. From what I have read, taking B/P at the wrist is less accurate than at the upper arm. So some inconsistancy is goes with sampling at the wrist. I have done comparisons with this monitor and a standard B/P cuff. Both at home and in the doctors office. My Samsung seems to consistantly read a bit low. Even with training and experience in using a B/P arm cuff there are variables make the readings subject to interpretation. So there does not seem to be a 100% accurate way measure B/P time after time.

So how is this usefull? By taking my B/P with this unit in a consistant manner, i.e. same body position, same time of the day, same wrist, etc. I get readings that are relevent to each other. I can detect trends up or down. Since this unit also measures pulse rate I get that feed back as well.

I keep this bedside. Upon waking in the morning while still relaxed, before coffee, etc. I take my B/P and pulse. The resting pulse rate is good feedback on whether I am overtraining and the B/P gives me info for my doctor.

Recommended with the caviot that one understands readings may not agree with B/P cuff. I have not had any reliability issues with the functions of the monitor and it is very simple to use.Get more detail about Samsung Healthy Living BWB-5007 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

We got a sample of this in the hospital, in Canada, and within a day my son's diaper rash had cleared up completely. I can't find this product on the shelves here at all, so I always order it from Amazon.com. It is the only cream/moisture barrier I will ever use. At the first sign of redness, apply this and the redness will be gone before the day is done. The tubes also last a really long time.

Mabis 15-736-000 Nine Second Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer Decide Now


We bought this thermometer but when it arrived it didn't work. We figured that since the thermometer was so inexpensive, it would be cheaper to just replace the battery rather than pay to send the thing back. Well, even after the battery was replaced it only worked for about a month. I think we finally got disgusted and threw the thing away. A total waste of money!Get more detail about Mabis 15-736-000 Nine Second Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer.

Save Vicks Comfort Flex Digital Thermometer


Out of the package this thermometer read low (96.8 and 97 degrees without the supplied probe covers) on 2 different human subjects instead of between 97.6F to 98.8F expected for healthy humans. Over the course of 15 minutes, using the oral method with one human subject, where the probe was inserted under the tongue with enough force to cause minor discomfort, the readings varied from 96.9F to 97.5F on repeated insertions and measurements. Given this, I can not rely on this thermometer to accurately gauge temperature for anyone with illness. More testing is needed, with an accurate temperature reference. However, human trials are the most realistic in terms of intended usage, and this data points to an accuracy issue for the Vicks thermometer. Aside from the accuracy concern, it has nice features such as a flexible tip, acoustic signals, and an easy to read display.

(Following this review, I purchased a German-made Geratherm Mercury-free oral thermometer, initial tests indicate very accurate readings {98.2F for a healthy human}. The downside to this thermometer is that it requires 180 seconds to read, the upside is that it does not require batteries and it appears to be very accurate. After years of purchasing useless electronic thermometers, I finally have one that is accurate!)Get more detail about Vicks Comfort Flex Digital Thermometer.

Discount Cateye MSC-HR10 Multi-Sport Heart Rate Monitor


I purchased this in August 2008 to replace my failing Polar HR monitor. I have ridden my bike nearly 1500 miles since then and this thing is so unreliable that I have gone back to my failing, now less than reliable Polar.

It has always been difficult to use compared to other (Polar) monitors that I have had. The instructions are very poor and do not explain the features in much detail. It tells you how to set it up and the rest is up to you. Some features are obvious, others are not.

It does have the now standard calories burned nonsense (it is not accurate, but more a rough estimate.) It has a useless feature called a "fitness index" which, in this thing, is based on your age and the self-assessed "activity score" you enter. 2+ hours per week is high!!!!It also has a "lock" feature with which you can accidentally lock it from reading your HR. Hopefully you will have thoroughly read and memorized the manual or brought it along with you if you do so, because you won't likely be able to figure out the problem and how to solve it if you haven't.

Mine appears to be excessively sensitive to any electric interference. The maximum HR is always wrong---up to 230bpm---at times. This naturally distorts the average HR. This has happened every single ride I have been on with this thing, no matter the location; urban or rural. It does the same thing when I jog with it. The Polar models I have used show very few such false readings in the same areas.

It has began to fail completely this week--about 3 months after purchase. At items, I can no longer bring up the stopwatch feature. I will refuses to start measuring the heart rate. At other times, it cannot read any signal. Or it will read at over 220 bpm for an entire ride. A reset sometimes cures it at least temporarily, but then I have lost half of the data.

Even though Polar is nearly twice as expensive, and generally less than 100% reliable, the ones I have used surpass this by far. I will be trash-canning this one and going back to Polar. At least they last more than 3 months and I can generally trust one of them.Get more detail about Cateye MSC-HR10 Multi-Sport Heart Rate Monitor.

Cheap GE 29281FE1 Basic Corded Slimline Phone with CID (Black)


Bought this phone for our kitchen, along with a longer cord because this one looked pretty short. The website even suggested a cord to purchase along with this phone. When we got the phone, we realized that you couldn't unpug the cord from the phone without dismantling the phone. One end of the cord is actually internal, so no changing out the cord.

I bought one of these and hooked up to the sound card of my computer. Now I can see some what of a waveform giving me pulse rate and some idea of the Qt and rr intervals. If you plan on using this for audio output only, you will notice some buzz noise along with the heart contraction noise. It was pretty easy to put together as long as you have a soldering iron and wire snippers. Also you will have to supply a battery to make it work.

Purchase Robic Pedometer with Body Mass Calculator


I just ordered this pedometer and discovered that not only does the step function not work accurately (it said I went about 3 steps for every one actually taken), but the fat % & BMI calculators were way off base. I had my fat % done recently by a fitness trainer and it was at least 10% points off. I realize that it won't be 100% accurate and could vary by a couple of % points, however 10% is unacceptable. I shipped the item back the same day I received it and will stick to a basic pedometer without all the fancy features that can accurately measure how many steps I actually DO take.

I purchased a pedometer from Accusplit. I could not get it to work and called for tech support. Tech support told it was not working because it was not "level" in reference to the ground. I used a 4 inch level to make sure it was correct, still didn't work. I called tech support a second time and the tech said send it back and we will send you a new one. I sent it back and I have not received a new one (3 weeks as of this review). The reason, Accusplit can't find my package and won't release a replacement until they do.

Where To Buy Microlife WS100 Digital Body Fat Analyzer Weight Scale


This scale is truly very disappointing. In comparison to other scales it seems to consistently underestimate my weight. Apart from that, the scale shows me completely different readings, sometimes with gaps as large as 7 pounds, if I measure my weight several times in a row with intervals of a few seconds. In short, I think this scale is pretty much useless. Get more detail about Microlife WS100 Digital Body Fat Analyzer Weight Scale.

This scale is all we need. We did not want anything other than an accurate and repeatable scale that was easy to read. I wieghed myself 10 times within an hour and the reading was exactly the same each time even when moved from the livingroom (hardwood floor) to the bathroom (tile floor). One thing though was that the description on Amazon states it has a steel base but it does not. Doesn't matter though because the scale works perfect and does not feel flimsey like most other out there. I really like the "click" you can feel and hear when tapping the scale to activate it. If you want a accurate repeatable scale, this is it. If you watch for it you can get it for less than $25!Get more detail about Soehnle 62867 Hawaii Monotronic Scale, White/Grey.

When I first tried this monitor, I hated it! It is so different from my old one. It took me a while to catch on to how it best worked. Now that I am a bit familiar with it, I like it.

I've had this monitor for well over 3 years and the original battery has finally died. The functions are fairly easy to figure out through trial and error. I've had to do this because I have no idea where the manual is. It does not have a backlight which is a little annoying. Gym equipment does pick up the chest strap signal which is good. The bad is that wireless equipment makes the reading go crazy. I can not use my wireless phone or laptop near it while the wireless signal is activated.

Where To Buy Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration


My 8 1/2 year old daughter was filling and sometimes overflowing a "goodnight" every single night since she was 3. (She had been potty trained at night for about 6 months, then started wetting occasionally, which quickly turned into every night.) Every year the doctor said she would grow out of it, but finally recommended an alarm. I waited for months, thinking that $[...] for an alarm was too much, but when the condition didn't improve, I finally shelled out the money. I'm glad I did, and wish that I had done so sooner. (I was spending $300 a year on goodnights, so the alarm is actually cheaper!)

We hooked the alarm to the outside of her underpants, then she pulled a goodnight on over. The first night when the alarm went off, she was able to stop the urine flow and get to the bathroom. She didn't even call me for help, the alarm was simple enough for her to operate. In the morning she was so proud of herself. The smile on her face was priceless! Over the next few nights, she was just as successful. By the end of two weeks she was sleeping through the night, not wetting at all. We're one month in, and she has stopped wearing the alarm at all. She sleeps through the night and wakes up dry every morning. I can't explain how this simple alarm made all the difference, but it has! I would recommend this to ANYBODY and EVERYBODY that has a bed-wetting issue.Get more detail about Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration.

We purchased this because we already have one and it stopped working. But we like the features this one has so we ordered a replacement and thought it would be good to get the batteries with it because it uses more than most pedometers. We got the pedometer but they did not send the batteries that would fit the pedometer.

Rawlings Digital HEART RATE / PULSE WATCH Immediately


Purchased unit online at a deal a day site. I was skeptically because it said that it required no chest strap, but also indicated continious monitoring of your heart rate. Reality is it's only continious IF you place your fingers on the sensor pads on the face, so it really only does a spot check.

It does have some nice sport features like a pacer mode where you can set it like a metronome to set your cadence. It also does split chrono nicely. Large display is a plus.

Bottom line is if you really want to monitor your heart rate exertion zones, don't bother with this unit. Get more detail about Rawlings Digital HEART RATE / PULSE WATCH.

Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor Best Quality


I love my Polar F60. I bought it to track my fitness on hikes and runs while on a trip in southwest Utah. And with it, I bought the Polar G1 GPS Speed and Distance Sensor. Alas. The shallowest of canyons had it flummoxed; the most unthreatening cliffs stymied it. On a given hike (or run) I would get mileages from 2.1 to 8.5 miles off from the established distances.
Coming home to New York City, I fared no better. Testing the G1 on daily Central Park runs of (tested) 3.7 miles, I got readings from 2.2 to 6 miles. (And according to the G1, I was running 12.3 miles per hour at my MAX - possible for some, perhaps, but not for me.) Pretty useless. Apparently the "four satellites" that are accessed need to be directly overhead.

Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor, Pink Coral 1 ea Buy Now


I bought this watch as a tool to help me through my long runs. I was very happy, a nice looking watch to monitor my heart rate, and it came with free shipping.

What I didn't like is that about 33 days into ownership of the watch, it became unreliable. It worked sporadically, and was inaccurate giving me readings that were completely off. I contacted amazon about a return, but I was outside of the 30 days and they sent me to the manufacturer (rightfully so). I had to send it to the manufacturer and wait 2 solid weeks.

On the return, the manufacturer stated that the battery was flat (dead), and that the transmitter had low conductivity of electrodes (aka: didn't work). I would say this was a "lemon" but I have heard and read that this has happened to others, I didn't think it would happen to mine.

They fixed it and were fine to work with, but I was discouraged that my "free ship" really was not a free ship after all, I had to pay to ship the watch to the manufacturer. My thought is you might want to learn how long your watch has been sitting in the box before receiving it. The only place to fix this watch is thru the manufacturer.

When the watch works, it's great. I am hoping to build confidence now on the reliability of this watch.Get more detail about Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor, Pink Coral 1 ea.

Prestige Medical All, Color Sprague Stethoscope, Stealth Decide Now


This is a well made Sprague Rappaport stethoscope. It has been extensively tested and reviewed at the site: http://www.forusdocs.com/reviews/Acoustic_Stethoscope_Review.htm This review compares this stethoscope with other top selling stethoscopes on Amazon. Acoustically it is a good diagnostic instrument, and you should have no problems hearing cardiac sounds including murmurs, gallops, and clicks. It is very good for listening to respiratory sounds, vascular bruits, and checking blod pressure. This stethoscope has very comfortable earpieces. Its soft rubber tubing is less prone to noise artifacts than most Sprague-Rappaport dual tube stethoscopes.
Compared to the Omron Sprague-Rappaport stethoscope it is better made, but not quite as good acoustically, according to the above review. It was slightly less efficient and slightly less clean sounding compared to the Omron. But you can look like a TV doctor, as this scope looks identical to the model worn by the doctors on the NBC TV show "Scrubs". In summary a decent stethoscope and a great fashion accessory.

Some pros: Clip is very secure. Very comfortable -- don't feel it at all. Fun to use

Cons: The buttons get accidentally pushed, so I end up reseting it inadvertently. Worse, if the "mode" key is held down (which I also did inadvertently), it changes to metric. I never would have figured out how to change it back to miles if I hadn't thankfully kept the instructions.

Low Price Oregon Scientific Pedometer with PC Download


This is one fantastic pedometer! First and foremost, the ability to store up to seven days worth activity on the pedometer itself and additionally to be able to download and save all of your activity onto your computer make this pedometer extremely useful and practical. The included software is surprisingly robust and allows you to set all kinds of preferences, alarms, and activity goals; and also offers analysis of your activity versus goals, including graphs. You can use the accompanying base to upload your information or any USB A-B cable. This is great because I can leave my base at home, and use a regular USB cable at work and/or on my laptop without bringing a bulky base.

The pedometer is very compact - about as big as two quarters, but the display is very easy to read with large numbers and letters. It has a variety of modes that you can cycle through, and you can set preferences, goals, timers, alarms, etc. either on the pedometer itself or on the computer with the included software.

I find the pedometer to be nearly perfectly accurate, with no more than one step +/- off for every 100 steps or so - that's incredible! The pedometer is supposed to be able to differentiate between running steps and walking steps, and it does, but it doesn't seem to count my steps when I go jogging as running - only when I run at a faster pace. Since I prefer to jog to keep my impact low, this is the one drawback I've found with the device. Don't get me wrong, it still counts the steps, but when it uploads to the software, it counts my jogging steps as walking ones.

The pedometer is light, but also seems solidly built. The buttons are small, but easy to get used to, and the display is in a position that you can always see it without having to take it off of you first.

Overall, I am really pleased with the quality of the pedometer and the ability to use the goals and software makes it fun and encouraging to get out and stay active. It's really great to see you have met your goals for the day and are on your way to getting healthier. If I had to pick one word to describe this pedometer, I would say it would be "indispensable".

Cheap Acumen 10K Stepper Plus Pedometer


I bought this product because of a recommendation from a satisfied user. Within the first few days, I had highly recommended it to 2 others. But then a week after I received it, the pedometer stopped working! The stopwatch and clock functions still worked, and switching the battery did not help. Unfortunately, although I emailed Acumen as was required in order to get a shipping number for return and repair under warranty, Acumen never responded. Now I'm out $25 and stuck with a pedometer that doesn't work! Help!Get more detail about Acumen 10K Stepper Plus Pedometer.

Buying Tanita BC534 Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor


This scale is accurate when it comes to weight. Although, my body fat seems to fluctuate a lot throughout the day. Some days its 19% others it 23% I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I mean, I guess my body fat is pretty low? Besides that the scale is great. I love that I can see when I've gained a few ounces so that I can get myself back on track before I gain a pound or two. Get more detail about Tanita BC534 Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor.

Buy Detecto 438 Balance Beam Doctor/Physician Scale w/ Height Rod & Wheels, 400 lbs, Made in the USA


Bought this so that I could daily weigh myself while dieting. Daily weighing, in my opinion, is very important. And accurate weighing results are equally important to keep one on track. After assembling the well-packed components and calibrating according to directions, I found that these scales were within a 1/2 pound of those used by my WW group and my doctor's office. Can't get better than that. Consistent weighing results every time I step on these scales.

Purchased through Amazon and delievery was actually a day or so earlier than I expected.Get more detail about Detecto 438 Balance Beam Doctor/Physician Scale w/ Height Rod & Wheels, 400 lbs, Made in the USA.
