Thanks for providing this video. I purchased my ReliOn device last night and I found the written instructions confusing. Your guidance was most helpful. Take care.
Listening to this Video offsets my negative mood. This relaxes me before going to bed. I recently was diagnosed with Diabetes. So I need to lose weight. With some small changes I have lose a little weight. 😊
This is probably the best comment anyone can receive about their video! I'm happy to hear that this offsets your negative mood. I think you're on the right track because people tend to think that they need to make big sweeping changes. Actually, "slow and steady wins the race." Keep up the good work!
Great video and I appreciate that you took the time to explain everything without rushing. My annual 12 hour fasting CBC blood test showed 115 MG/DL up from 102 so it's time to get the weight down and cut out sugar. I need to cut my sweet tooth with regualr sugar having nearlly 2 tablesppons in each cup of coffee alond with Pepsi and white rice. Stopped at Walmart tonight and picked up a bag of allulose sugar substitute and really like it along with this this machine for $9 based on your video so thanks.
I'm happy to hear you found the video helpful! The dietary changes you suggest would certainly help keep blood sugar under control. I haven't heard of allulose sugar substitute, so I will have to look that up; but good luck with everything!
Search for Natural Slim USA and you will find there a wealth of information on how to manage not only what you have to eat but how to reset your metabolism. Good luck!
@@24hourgmtchannel64 You can use Agave as a sweetener for your Coffee ☕. And in peanut butter on Ritz Crackers, 6 - 8 at a time. The peanut butter with Agave taste similar to Reese's candy. I wish you well.
Nowhere in the user manual does it describe how to read the Control Solution Range on the ReliOn Premier test strips. What does Level 1 120-163 mg/dl and Level 2 208-281 mg/dl mean? How do I apply these numbers to my control solution result? Thank you.
You skipped over the very reason I had to come here. The lancet device I have does not resemble the one in the art and I can't load a lancet. That's the only hard part!
According to the manual, it is a data port. It allows you to transfer information from the device to your computer. Interestingly, I don't think mine came with a cable.
My doctor and the instructions say not to squeeze your finger. I asked my pharmacist why not to squeeze us because white blood cells are pushed out with the red blood cells and reads the glucose lower than it is😢
I needed to change to a different pricking method. I am using a 1 time use very gentle spring loaded lancet to draw blood. The new self contained unit works great for my delicate fingers and it doesn't draw too much blood. They are the Relion Single Use Safety Lancets. Each unit is completely self contained. I can just toss it in my trash because the needle isn't exposed and there is no blood on it. I actually don't avoid taking my blood sugar now. I have removed ALL carbs and still have high blood sugar. No fruit (tomatoes are a fruit too), no grains and no beans of any kind because they all spike my blood sugar. Its with testing that we can find our blood sugar level.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I didn't need to set it. Maybe try again with a different test strip? A normal reading is usually anywhere between 80 to 120 mg/dl.
I have trouble getting consistent results. For example, an hour after I ate, I tested my ring finger on my left hand and the level was 143. One minute later I tested the middle finger of the same hand and it was 99. Then tested on 3 more fingers both hands and the readings were 108, 107, and 102. Ive had this device for 2 weeks and test several times each time I test and its very rarely consistent with itself. How come?
The timing is the key. When you eat, your blood sugar naturally goes up. Then your blood sugar returns to baseline over the period of 2 to 3 hours. If you are concerned, then I recommend you speak with your doctor.
The lancet device doesn’t work for me. It’s much easier to just poke my finger with the needle! Way easier and it doesn’t hurt if you have thin enough skin.
This meter sucks I had to go back to the older meter the prime to get a reading after getting error 4 for the fifth time in a row and it’s not the first time this has happened with this meter it just not a good meter
I heard they discontinued the Prime meters. I wanted to buy a new one because I had it for about 5 years. I’m still seeing the test strips for prime. I wonder how much longer those will be around for.
I'm sorry I did not see your message sooner. The normal range should be between 80 to 120. Some questions to consider: Were you fasting? Usually 8 hours without food is considered fasting. Only water is permitted. If you were not fasting, when was your last snack/ meal/ beverage? 111 CAN be considered normal. But you need to take this information in relation to when you last ate or drank something. I hope this helps.
I apologize for getting back to you so late. According to the manual, the ER4 code means that you either did not collect enough blood in the test strip, or your blood is too thick. The manual recommends that you try again with a different test strip.
No wonder your blood sugar is high 😮 if you have diabetes or are pre diabetic than you have to change your diet or decide you’ll just take insulin shots for the rest of your life 😢
Thankfully I am not diabetic. But if squeezing the finger causes an erroneous reading, I may try a reading without squeezing my finger; and another reading after squeezing my finger just to see how that changes the blood sugar level.

Thank you!
I really appreciate this video
You're welcome. I hope I helped!
How do you test the machine?
You skipped over the very reason I had to come here. The lancet device I have does not resemble the one in the art and I can't load a lancet. That's the only hard part!
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I did make a video exclusively on how to load the lancet device. I would recommend checking that out.
Thank you so much for your video.
Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I'm glad you found this video helpful!
Please, TURN UP THE Volume!
What is the hole on the side of the meter for ? For charging the meter?
According to the manual, it is a data port. It allows you to transfer information from the device to your computer. Interestingly, I don't think mine came with a cable.
My doctor and the instructions say not to squeeze your finger. I asked my pharmacist why not to squeeze us because white blood cells are pushed out with the red blood cells and reads the glucose lower than it is😢
That's an interesting point. I will do a little research into that and see what I can find out. Thank you for highlighting that and letting me know.

How do I set my glucose meter it says 12mg/dl or do I need to change it
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I didn't need to set it. Maybe try again with a different test strip? A normal reading is usually anywhere between 80 to 120 mg/dl.
Can I use any other brand test strips with this device??
To the best of my understanding, the test strips from other brands cannot be used with different glucometers.
Thanks for showing me how to use my glucose meter and Lansing device! It's pretty easy
I'm happy to hear you found this video helpful!

How do you change time and date
It's on page 16 of the manual. If you like, I can make a new video to illustrate the process. Just let me know.
The lancet device doesn’t work for me. It’s much easier to just poke my finger with the needle! Way easier and it doesn’t hurt if you have thin enough skin.
Lo mismo hago yo¡¡¡ ademas siempre lo hago en diferentes dedos
This meter sucks I had to go back to the older meter the prime to get a reading after getting error 4 for the fifth time in a row and it’s not the first time this has happened with this meter it just not a good meter
I heard they discontinued the Prime meters. I wanted to buy a new one because I had it for about 5 years. I’m still seeing the test strips for prime. I wonder how much longer those will be around for.
I forgot to buy the needle
The lancing device actually comes with a few needles to get you started.
I just took my reading and it said 111 is that high or low? where should the numbers range? thanks for your video.
I'm sorry I did not see your message sooner. The normal range should be between 80 to 120. Some questions to consider: Were you fasting? Usually 8 hours without food is considered fasting.

I range between 350 and 450 no matter I do
🙏
I get an Er4 message
I apologize for getting back to you so late. According to the manual, the ER4 code means that you either did not collect enough blood in the test strip, or your blood is too thick. The manual recommends that you try again with a different test strip.
These are inaccurate, show 10-25 points higher then normal.
Yes, that's possible. I'm interested in testing several different brands side-by-side to see if there are variations.
I got 30 point difference when comparing with my fathers device.

Can't hear you. Ok wash your hands. Guessed that
Blood and needle 💉 mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......
Speak louder
Could've taken 30 sec instead of a boring 5 mins.
I liked it. Very asmr. We can all see you're a miserable person
I think you're absolutely right. I'm still trying to figure out how to make videos.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it
High glucose makes one very Sarcastic and Impatient!
