Hi @leanne1 Thank you so much for sharing your hemoglobin tester info with us! There are so many products on the market and trying to find one that’s accurate and reliable is always risky. You’ve done the legwork for us. ☺️
I’m going to tag fellow members, @wendy517 @megg @jp85 and @jerrlin who have been wanting to find a good way to check their hemoglobin and hematocrit at home!

Were you having symptoms prior to being diagnosed or was this found during a routine physical? Do you know if you have the JAK2 gene mutation?

I do not have any symptoms, I have JAK2 and high platelets were found at my yearly physical.

Thank you!! Just ordered one, I was procrastinating because reviews for every one were all over the place from works great to not accurate at all.
I'll test the day of my next CBC in a couple weeks.
