I've been using the monitor a couple months now to watch the other, pleasant side effects of losing my beer belly through diet and exercise. In sum, a useful device and far better monitoring tool than the alternative - more expensive kits that require you to take a blood sample and then send it in for testing. I knock it down a star for ease of use issues, but something I plan to use once a month until I'm under 150 mg/dl.

Keep in mind this is a fairly simple device with some limitations. Basically, put a little blood on a test strip and it comes back with a total cholesterol reading if you're between 150 and 300 mg/dl. Unfortunately, this doesn't check HDL/LDL or lipid levels, something necessary to figure out where your health really stands.
