Product Description
CardioChek Total Cholesterol Test Strips help you track your total cholesterol level between physician visits. The higher your total cholesterol, and the more cardiac risk factors you have (cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, family history of early heart disease, and age), the greater your chances of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. Your total cholesterol level is the sum of all the types of cholesterol in your blood. A total cholesterol level of under 200 mg/dL (5.18 mmol/L) is desirable.

 Good Value but careful September 3, 2008

Buying these products in bulk will save you a dollar - but i have found that most of these 25 count testing strips expire in a year - not good when you are only going to test it on your self.
 Keep Away from 25ct strips January 12, 2008

Unfortunately there are merchants who show no respect to internet customers. These products have an expiry date of around two years so by purchasing 25ct you estimate that you can do one test once month and you save a few dollars by purchasing this package. This is not the case, as they can ship you a product with an expiry date of 6 months or less. In my case I order it just before Christmas 2007 and I got it in January 2008. To my surprise the expiry date was 2008 06 11, in other words in five months time this product has to be thrown away as the instrument simply will not accept it. Furthermore the temperature of the strip and the tester must be above 20 degrees centigrade (68F), now in winter and considering that is better to carry out the test in the morning before you consume any food, it is almost difficult to carry out the test.
Personally I am very disappointed and I will have my eyes open from now on. I wrote to the supplier but I am not pleased and I do not know if I want to spend any more time with them in further correspondence. I have to admit that I order another 25ct for another test from a different supplier and they send me a package which will expire in June 2009.
At this stage I am not going to reveal the name of the unconscious supplier who is trying to get rid of his old stock by selling to unsuspicious customers who happen to trust Amazon.
Amazon must black list these suppliers if they want to maintain there good fame.
Just be careful and better keep away from 25ct unless you are a professional healthcare user!
