What people ask before they start
Do I need a prescription?
No. The meter, strips and lancets are all over-the-counter.
How long will 50 strips last?
Testing twice a day, about 25 days. Once a day, about 7 weeks. Your care team will tell you how often to test.
Is the guide only in the box?
The printed guide comes in the box. This page sets out what each week covers.
What happens after 30 days?
Nothing automatic. The kit is a one-time purchase. You can reorder strips, start a plan, or do nothing.
I already have a different meter. Will these strips fit?
VivaGuard Ino strips only fit the VivaGuard Ino meter. Call or text and we’ll help you choose.
Can I return it?
The refund policy sets out what can come back and how.
For nearly two decades John has helped people and their families understand diabetes in plain language, on the view that it should be explained in words anyone can act on.
Call or text and a real person helps you choose. If you already have a meter, we’ll tell you which strips fit.
The First 30 Days™ is education, not medical treatment. Your target ranges, testing schedule and medications always come from your doctor or care team. HealthViber sells over-the-counter testing supplies and is not a healthcare provider.
