Does not work with new phones
I upgraded my iPhone from a iPhone 5 to and iPhone 6S and now neither my iPhone or my iPad support the Gsmart Glucometer ... the sensor my glucose strips are useless ... don't buy this unit ...
DO NOT USE this product
Update:
I'm an insulin dependent diabetic. Using the Gmate I began to notice my readings were all over the place and did not match the way I felt. After a few months I decided to purchase another device .... Contour Next. My readings were radically different so I did some research and discovered the FDA makes some allowances but mine seemed to be farther apart. I began a 30 day test taking readings using both meters every morning. You conducted a non-scientific fasting test with the following results:
30 Readings
The Gmate had a 21.7% average difference or 38.9 points
15 of the readings averaged greater than 25%
The readings ranged from -1.1 to 49.7% difference
Original review: The GMate Smart app is a good app needing some improvement. It would be nice to have a specific place to enter medication taken after the reading that would export as a specific and separate field. It would also be beneficial to have an icon to notate a "Fasting" reading.

I am very disappointed in this reader. Since I did the updates it is sooo far off. As much as it is a convenient I have reverted back to the old fashioned way. Don't fix what's not broken.
Don't use this update!
I have used game for well over a year and I LOVED it. Since the update I cannot rely on the readings anymore because they are WAY off. For example: 231 with gmate, 114 with another meter.
Dangerously inaccurate
I was cautiously optimistic when I bought this setup, but have found it to be dangerously inaccurate in reality. I could feel my blood sugar was high or low and was confirmed using a standard monitor. However this brand's setup almost always had me in the "normal" range regardless of what I actually was. It ranged between 100-150 points off of what the other meter said.
