The Old Beef
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.

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.

GBDisappointed The test was a little pricey but I loved the fact I could just return my sample in my mail box. My biggest disappointment was that my test was inconclusive, there was enough blood just one of my markers was a little elevated so I didn’t learn a thing from the test and wasted $80

GBNot worth the $100 when it comes back… Not worth the $100 when it comes back inconclusive. That was a big waste of money. I could have had my doctor do the test for much cheaper and would have received actual results.

GBFirst of all First of all. The first email I recieved from your company had an instructional video on how to operate the blood draw equipment. This video never worked. I have gone back to the web page and the video would never load. Therefore, the reason it took me so long to send my blood sample back was because I believed, due to the instructions, that I had to watch the video first. Next, I decided I would go ahead and go through the process without watching the video. The picture instructions were helpful. Yet, the first lancit I attempted to take the cap off of broke. Thank goodness, I thought, that there was a second lancit. Well, I was able to take the cap off successfully but when I attempted to pearce my finger the lancit was too short. Therefore I had to cut my own finger with a razor blade to draw blood. The rest of the process was easy enough and I sent it off to you.
