Program Getting Worse Not Better
I joined Dario back in 2019. I loved that you could test your sugar on your phone! That has been the best invention. I am someone who cannot use a sensor. As time has gone this program has declined. I have to replace the testing device at least twice a year. Can’t you make one that will last? Then the last nine months I consistently get told my sugar is low. Every time I test. When did a 100 become al low? Next I had a high of 221 for a short time. Now I keep getting a warning about seeing a doctor. I’ve had T1D for 30 years. You’re going to have highs at times. I don’t need to be shamed for what number my sugar reads. I’ve even got text messages scolding me for a high. Really? This is information to help me dial in better control. An ongoing challenge as a T1D person. Scolding people doesn’t make them want to test. But maybe that’s your goal? It’s definitely not what any diabetic wants or needs. This program is supposed to help you improve not tear you down.
This used to be a great program. But as time has gone the program has gotten worse. I definitely would stop using it but I love the ease of using my phone to test my blood.
Dario please improve your product! This is for your diabetic patrons and your shareholders!

Short memory
The device and app were very helpful when I needed to test my blood sugar, so when I needed to start tracking my blood pressure, I got the blood pressure monitor that goes with the app. Also helpful. Not having to manually enter the numbers removes some friction in the process, which I definitely appreciate. And I do like that you can manually enter data too, which I do when the doc takes it at the office. Taking away one star because every time I open the app, it stops all audio even though the app isn’t making any noise. This is really annoying since I listen to podcasts and music all the time.
Warning: make sure you sync the Dario app with apple health. Dario only holds your data for three months. Apple health keeps it all, which is great for tracking your health over time.

Focused on improving my health
I’m very thankful that I work for a fantastic company that focuses on the health and well being of their employees at American Tire Distributors. I took advantage of the suite of products offered to at Dario. Blood pressure, blood glucose and the scale. It has me very focused and so far my weight has come down 27lbs blood is improved substantially and glucose is now in a healthy range thanks to all the tips the send me daily. All that said Dario has also provided an asset Coach Emily who I speak to weekly. She is fantastic and offers pointers every week and also celebrates my accomplishments. Coach Emily is AWESOME and I’m lucky to have her in my corner!

Why are you messing with it!!
This app is great, but why the need to keep pushing through adverts, on how to manage health? Allow us to fill it in and then forget about it, but no!! It pops up every single time you use the app regardless if you’ve filled it in or not. Can’t even get hold of anyone to advise why this is? Sort it out Dario, it’s ruining a good app!!!

Latest update
Since the latest update the app is harder to work with. When I open it to get a glucose measurement I have to go in and out several times before it will take me to the screen where it ask for a test strip. The app doesn’t work if the phone rings during a measurement the B/P function doesn’t register even though it looks like it is connecting I still have to input it manually. The look of the app Is childish also. I hate this latest update and I am considering looking for another program that is more reliable. The A1C readings are off by a lot. You should be able to put the A1C reading you receive from your lab work so that you are starting at the same place. The app said my A1C was 5.2 but my lab results were 6.4!

Would be better if weight synced with Apple Health
I like that the glucose meter is compact and easy to slip into your pocket. The app is okay, but I don’t really use most of the features. I’m only interested in my blood sugar and weight readings. It would be a 5-star rating if weight also synced with Apple Health. I have another scale which does sync, but it requires you to open an app while weighing yourself, whereas the Dario scale is Wi-Fi as syncs automatically with the Dario app. I don’t understand why they have glucose and blood pressure syncing but not weight. It’s definitely an option in Apple Health.

Simple & compact
I love love love my Dario BG monitor. It’s so easy to use. It’s so simple and Compact. One unit approximately 1” wide and 3” long that house the testing strips lancet and a miniature glucose monitor. My iPhone can be asleep and when I place the monitor into the charge area of my iPhone it will wake up with Dario asking me to allow it to use my iPhone to which I click ok and then it asks for a testing strip to which I insert and the lancet end you can adjust the depth of the stick. The amount of blood it takes is a tiny and I do mean tiny amount which is awesome.

Device is terrible!
The strips work fine, but then so do the strips from other companies. No big deal here. That’s the bare minimum.
Where the whole system fails is that it tries to do way, way, way too much. Updates have ruined my experience every time because they take away an important feature so they may add yet another premium feature (for the low, low price of $240 a year “discounted” from $360, hahahah!) that I will never, ever need or use. 95% of the app reminds me of buying a new computer and finding it stuffed with bloatware. Suggestion: make all these unnecessary complicated doodads an option to be added, and offer a clean, simple app that just keeps track of the data. That’s all anyone needs.
