Overview

The iHealth BG5S100 is a blood glucose monitor from iHealth, weighing 0.32 lb for at-home testing. It holds a 4.3 star rating from about 4,100 Amazon reviews, though recent purchase volume has slowed.

IHealth built its name on connected home health devices, and the BG5S100 carries that model number into the glucose monitor line. Published specs here are limited to the unit's weight, so shoppers should confirm kit contents such as strips, lancets and app compatibility directly on the listing before buying. The zero bought-in-past-month figure suggests this particular model is not currently a high-turnover seller.

Who it's for

Best suited to someone already comfortable with the iHealth ecosystem or replacing an existing BG5-series meter. Not the pick for someone who needs a fully itemized comparison of strip cost and accuracy data up front, since that detail is not in this listing.

Performance notes

Blood glucose meters in this class work by reading a small blood sample on a test strip and displaying a numeric result on the device. Real-world accuracy and ease of use depend on strip quality and calibration, none of which is detailed in this listing beyond the unit's 0.32 lb weight.
