Livongo?

Here is the review of DiabetesMine:

And here is SixUntilMe:

There is some bias in the reviews as both authors are friends of Manny Hernandez (founder of tuD):

Here are consumer reviews at Birdseye:

Finally, one short thread on tuD:

My own feedback: I did some due diligence on them a year ago. I was interested in the all you can eat approach (we use about 10 strips per day). I thought the meter was huge. I did not get to compare the meter with a Contour Next myself, but heard some negative reports of accuracy—can’t say if it is true or not. The coaching appeared a bit if a mishmash, I thought great for less experienced people but for us not so much. I was negatively surprised by their lack of progress in the market: their big launch was in 2014, but after 2015 not much has happened. Hardly anyone discusses them. In the end I decided not to pursue.

But—you are getting a free deal, harder to pass on:-) Any chance you can try it for 30 or 90 days? The primary concerns I would have would be:

  • Too bulky to carry?

  • How smooth is strip reorder?

  • How accurate?

  • Can meter data integrate with other data stacks?
