GBLancets were very difficult to use Lancets were very difficult to use, both broke, making blood draw long and painful.

GBNot enough detail about: Not enough detail about: - description of the results - testing methodology that was used I would be embarrassed to present these results to a rheumatologist and I'm sure he will require testing at a professional lab.

GBWould not use this service again First, a big shout out to Claire, who executes her job in a very professional, friendly manner, She deserves commended! As far as Imaware as a company and its product, I am less than impressed. The method of puncturing the skin did not work for me. Even with Claire being kind enough to send extra puncture triggers and two replacement tests, none worked and I had to break a trigger apart with pliers and use the metal point inside to hand-puncture myself. Also, kits that require "fasting" should have a big sticker on the box top, rather than that important requirement be buried in the text about how to do the test. Further, no phone number can be found to contact the company and even emails refer one to the imaware chat on the website for response. There is no way that I could find to actually call from my side and talk with an actual person, Only through chat. Unfortunately, while the imaware at-home blood draw is a good idea, I cannot recommend its use.

GBThe kit was very easy to use but it did not give me the answers I was told it would. The kit was very easy to use and understand. But I am disappointed that I did not get the information I was looking for. I specifically talked to the young man at the food convention we went to in Schaumburg and told him I already knew I was not celiac. My question and concern was am I gluten sensitive. He assured me your test would address that and let me know if I was indeed gluten sensitive. No where on the test results did it address that issue. The only thing it clearly said was that I am not celiac, which as I said I already knew. So this was a total waste of the money I spent for it.

GBTheir self test kits are terrible Their self test kits are terrible. If you have calloused fingers it's practically impossible to use, and you apparently need about 20x more blood than they claim you need.
