I TESTED mine, TWICE, using the ‘control solution’ they sent me.
Still reads low — consistently.
The POGO was a crushing disappointment.
I, through PayPal, got a FULL REFUND!
Loved, loved, loved the CONCEPT. All-in-one glucose meter. No fuss, INSTANT testing.
But, it proved to be crushingly disappointing. Consistently gave low, VERY LOW — crazy LOW readings. Per its readings I should not have been standing.
I was wearing a ‘Dexcom G7‘ at the time. The Dexcom G7 wasn’t that great either, but the readings were more believable. Yes, I checked them both with a normal BG meter. The POGO was way low.
I called them. They sent me two batches of CONTROL SOLUTION. I used them both. They said the POGO was within ‘range’. NOT SO. NOT SO.
Well, I got my money back — so I really can’t complain MUCH. It is just that I am disappointed. I hate the hassle of using a standard meter. I don’t have the time or patience. I want to get it done quickly.
Well, it is NOT the POGO — yet!
Maybe they will get it right EVENTUALLY.
I offered to work with them — for FREE. They were NOT interested.
I can now understand why they PULLED their IPO from the market. They probably knew that they would face Class Action Lawsuits.
I am just sharing this with YOU so you don’t get misled.
