PTS Panel #1717 Test Strips Triglyceride Test (6 strips/box) for CardioChek PA or CardioChek ST

This one is even more important for us than the total cholesterol strips as it seems to be triglycerides that give us the most problem. Very accurate. I tested my blood the morning of fasting for a doctors appointment and when my doctors results came back they were spot on what this test kit showed.

These test strips work fine in my old CardioChek Pro. Some sellers will send you strips with only a couple of months left until expiration (they must buy them up at a discount), but these from HealthCheck Systems had over a year on them. Great!

Validity date is short, so I don't recommend buying more then 6 strips at once.Other big problem for me is that I have to bring the strips every time myself from USA or some other country (not Brazil) because Amazon is not sending it to Brazil anymore.Markus Schmidt

I used this test strip at home so I don't have to go to lab every month. It saves me money, time, and gas. It was easy to use and well worth it.

I first bought this over 2 years ago when I found out from my doctor my triglycerides were extremely high (over 2000). I bought this along with the CardioChek Cholesterol Meter to keep track of my levels... Unfortunately I found after I had ordered it the meter only works up to levels of 300 or 400- above that you just get a message saying they're too high to count. Still this is a limitation of the meter probably more than the strips.But my major issue is these expire just a couple months from the time you receive them. If you don't use them immediately you can't use them at all. The meter won't even try to use them, it has some sort of chip that tells it the expiration date and the meter knows the real date (assuming you set it right) so don't order too many.I'm reordering them now because my triglyceride levels at last count were about 250- so this meter should now work. Unfortunately this was only after a long hospitalization with severe pancreatitus so I implore anyone who might have high triglycerides like I did to do EVERYTHING in your power to lower them. One day I was a normal guy with high trigs... the next day I was in ICU near death... it took 9 months before I was released from the hospital and now a year and a half since it first hit me I still can't walk. :(
