As browsing aliexpress, as one does, and found this little toy.

https://www.sejoy.com/5-in-1-panel-cholesterol-meter-lipid-analyzer-test-glucose-meter-for-total-cholesterol-product/

Picked it up for $50 usd with 10 test strips. No idea how accurate or precise it is.

I actually bought two of these meters from different brands, the sejoy unit gave me results, the other unit just said error.

what it said

I'm getting a real lipid panel done in a few weeks, I'll do a test draw on that day so I can compare.

This thing uses so much blood! It's crazy. Like a vampire

I did a laboratory blood test a few days later

  • TC 2.85 -> 3.005
  • HDL 0.92 -> 1.0344
  • TG 0.94 -> 0.6322
  • LDL 1.49 -> 1.681
  • TC/HDL 3.09 -> 2.905

So, its not too far off, except the TG..., good enough for the curious.
