All of us who suffer from gout struggle to find any way of making sense of our condition. We know that there is no cure, but how can we know if what we are doing is truly controlling it. With your own URIC ACID METER you can monitor your Uric Acid levels as regularly as you wish and look for patterns that can help you take control. The meter can also test for Glucose levels

How easy is it to use the meter?

There is a very comprehensive instruction booklet, as well as our own notes, pictures, Instruction video. and tips. After a little practice (use the cheaper Glucose strips) you soon get used to getting the right amount of blood into the test strips, and it becomes second nature.

How Accurate is the meter?

The performance of the Kernel Meters has in tests proved to be within 5% of laboratory equipment.

How often should I test?

This is difficult to answer as everyone will have different objectives. I personally regularly check my Uric Acid levels, initially once per day (keeping a log of my food) and now once or twice a week - more if I feel the Gout "tingle".

I occasionally check my Cholesterol and Glucose levels.

A personal note

I find that the reassurance of having the meter available, means that I can react to any sign of increasing Uric Acid levels instantly, without going through the process of worrying if that ache or pain is Gout!!! Chris Mills
