Veri is highly praised for its easy-to-use app, valuable insights into glucose levels and food reactions, and exemplary customer service. The brand has been instrumental in helping users improve their eating habits and overall health. However, there are concerns over the start of membership before product delivery and the need for more detailed food logging options and features.

  • I found veri incredibly helpful to help me understand my cgm data vs the libre apps. They help me understand what food helps and what other things might be contributing. The AI sometimes missed things, but I just save my favorites anyways 🙂

  • Review from USA. Yes I really do mean to give 5 stars. If you actually read what you are getting into before purchase then Veri works out great if it fits your needs. No issues signing up, getting a prescription or getting the sensors delivered. As people seem to be confused by Veri’s wording, here is what you need to know (and would know if you really pay attention to what their website says): Your Country: They use Freestyle Libre sensors, which only work in the UK and US. The reason they only work in those countries is because you need the Libre app to scan your sensor and there is only an app for the UK or US. The address to where you are shipping the sensor will dictate wether you get US or UK sensors. And if your phone is downloading UK apps but you shipped to the US they are not cross compatible and won’t work. Me, I am in the US, so I made sure to download the US app. Make sure your make/model of phone is compatible with the Libre app. Just because you can download the app doesnt mean your phone is compatible. The Libre app uses a chip in your phone to scan the sensor on your arm. If your phone is too old, it will not have this chip. For iphone, you have to have an 8 or newer. For android, you will need to check. Your needs: this is a glucose monitor. Its not a weight loss program. If you already have a weight loss program established that uses your blood sugar levels to help you lose weight then thats great. But thats not what this is. You are not buying a weight-loss program. Its a glucose monitor. I am on the edge of being pre-diabetic and was tired of sticking my fingers to monitor sugar levels based on what I eat. I want to still eat the foods that I like but not if they are sending my sugars sky rocketing. I also don't want to just cut out everything and eat as if I am full blown diabetic. Their app(Veri app): I agree with others it’s basically useless and I never intended to use it from the get go. The Libre app does what I need, I dont need another app that does the same thing. I also wasn’t interested in their community access or whatever it was. I just want the sensors. The Veri app is not even used to activate the sensor, the Libre app is, so there really is no need for it. That being said I did download it at the beginning because I needed to contact their customer support. Veri’s Customer Support: I contacted them via their app because my first sensor would not activate. They got back to me within an hour or two and troubleshot the issue. When they were not able to resolve it they referred me to call the makers of Freestyle Libre for further troubleshooting. Which I did, I called the makers of the sensor and they continued my troubleshooting, they deemed the sensor defective. Nothing I had done wrong. Nothing wrong with my app or phone. It must have just been damaged in handling. They shipped me a new one at no charge and I mailed the defective one back to the makers of the sensor. The sensor: It is the Freestyle Libre 14 day sensor. I had never used one on myself, but was familiar with them because I used to have a diabetic cat and the Vet would apply them to her. If the sensor can stay on a shaved cats skin, Im not sure how people have issues with them falling off early unless you are mangling or manhandling them, or just not cleaning your greasy skin before applying? It was painless when I applied, a flexible filament stays in your arm, not a needle. There is a needle on initial poke but you dont feel it and it then retracts into the applicator. None of my sensors have fallen off early and actually they are seriously stuck to me when I try to remove at the 14 days. I use mineral oil to help remove them because it’s really on there. That being said I never submerge mine in water, only shower. So can’t attest for that variable. These monitors are affected by taking Tylenol, they dont always read acutely if you have Tylenol in your system so keep that in mind and do a finger stick if Tylenol is needed. Once out of your system the sensors will again read accurate. The actual sensor itself only stores 8 hours of info, so you must scan at least once every 8 hours otherwise it begins to erase the oldest data to make way for the new. The app keeps all info that is downloaded via scan forever and does not delete data. Pricing: Now here is the big one. Essentially its $300 for 1 month of sensors. They send 2, 14 day sensors and then you have access to their app and community or what not for 3 months with the option to buy more sensors. This is what people are most peeved about. They dont fully read that you are only getting 1 month of sensors for the 3 month membership. Yes I understand that can be confusing. Its a 3 month membership to their app and community, not 3 months worth of sensors. The option to buy additional sensors are priced as $90 for 1, 14 day sensor. Or $160 for 2 of them(one months worth). Pricing Continued: When looking at other companies like nutrisense, they also have confusing wording that you need to fully read. Their 3 month membership is listed at $299 and yes, you do get sensors for the entire 3 months. However this is where their wording also gets confusing because it is NOT $299 for a 3 month membership, it is $299 PER MONTH for a 3 month membership. So actually is $897 for 3 months worth of sensors. With Veri, if you pay the $300 upfront and then purchase additional sensors $160 for 2 sensors, plus another $160 for 2 more sensors, that brings you to 3 months of sensors for $620, so thats still cheaper than nutrisense’s $897 for 3 months . Pricing Final Thought: Read on to the prescription and shipping, you can have your Rx transferred and then pay like $130-140 per month for the sensors. And not deal with either of the companies Nutrisense or Veri. Prescription & Shipping: I am in the US so you have to have a prescription for these. After going through Veri’s survey or whatever they approved and wrote me a prescription within an hour, they shipped quickly as well. I live in Indiana, the sensors were shipped from California and it took about 4 business days to arrive. Veri sends your prescription to a pharmacy called Truepill, and they ship you the sensors. The Truepill pharmacy has a policy where they will transfer your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. My box of 2 sensors = 1 month of monitoring, came with 11 prescription refills (aka a years worth). So I can literally just ask Truepill to transfer my prescription to my local pharmacy and continue to buy monthly sensor’s separate from Veri and use something like SingleCare or GoodRx to get a discount. At my local pharmacy a box of 2 sensors with GoodRx is $130. I dont use the Veri app anyways, since the Libre app has everything I wanted. And the Libre app activates the sensors. Yes I had to pay Veri $300 up front for 1 month of sensors, but that also included getting a prescription written for me without any hassle. The 1 month subscription from nutrisense is $399 so its still cheaper than nutrisense. I never intended to use the Veri app since you can use the Libre app for free, so I dont need to continue membership for their app or their community stuff. I now have a prescription thats written for a years worth of sensors and going forward it only costs me $130 a month after having my prescription transferred to my local pharmacy. Cancellation Policy: Veri is a membership!!! Which means, you need to cancel as soon as you’re done getting your first order. I canceled even before that. As soon as I got the notification that it had shipped, the first thing I did was go and cancel my “membership” so that I wouldn’t have any reoccurring charges of $300 in the future. It was easy to cancel from their website. If you scroll to their FAQs section there is literally a tab for “how can I cancel?”.

  • This is a great idea however here are some major issues I experienced and Veri were uninterested to learn of. I feel I wasted my money. 1) sloooooow customer service. It takes DAYS to get any form of sense from their online support team. So frustrating! 2) Incredibly loooooong shipment times! I paid for my second batch of sensors 9 days ago and they haven’t even arrived yet, leaving me with a huge gap between sensors. What’s the point if it isn’t a sustainable reading? 3) So far two sensors have come off waaaay too early. The first after 3 days and the second after 6 days. Veri keep sending me guides on how to apply but their marketing tells us how robust it is. They refuse to send replacements (I mean- it would take a month to get to you anyway!) and so I may have well as torches my money. 4) a chocolate bar equals less score than a salad. A glass of wine gets a higher score than a jacket potato. I don’t even know if this does promote good health?! I won’t be buying again- keep your money. Freestyle libre sell the same sensors without the middle man for much less and their all is just as good- if not more effective. This is a company capitalising on the sale of a product that was designed for those living with diabetes and they sadly haven’t done it very well. I won’t be lining their companies profits going forward and will buy from the originators.

    Feedback

    1) sensors that work and don’t fall off 2) better and more timely customer support 3) an app that promotes health eating 4) overpriced 5) speed up the delivery times!

    Hi Emma, Thanks so much for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience with us! We do have support staff on shift 7 days a week, and all our messages get responded to within 24 hours. We are sorry if your messages were missed, it should not be the case by default. Our shipping times are standard, and normally, the sensors arrive within 3-5 days. If something has gone wrong with the order or shipment, our team will be happy to help. We are always able to change the renewal date to ensure there are no gaps in between sensors if that is preferred. Sorry to hear about the sensors coming off, this definitely is not the norm and in cases of manufacturing error (i.e. no adhesive on the sensor), we do most certainly send replacements. If you feel you have not been fairly compensated for your issues, please reach out to [email protected] and we will be happy to review your history and see what can be done to improve your experience with Veri. In terms of our scoring, we measure different foods' response on your glucose levels. The glucose responses are affected by many factors, including sleep, exercise, stress, order of foods eaten, medication, etc. Sometimes the glucose response we have on foods that are perceived as 'healthy' can come as a surprise, which is one of the key reasons why monitoring glucose is insightful. A chocolate, being often high in sugar, will generally score less than a salad, however, a piece or two of 80% chocolate can score better than a salad that has a sugary dressing, croutons, and/or high-carb vegetables such as potato, for example. Wine, on the other hand, like other alcoholic drinks, surprisingly have a glucose-dampening effect. This by no means is an indication that wine is something one should consume to achieve flat glucose levels, and we are working on improving our app to underscore this. If interested in the topic, you can read more on alcohol's effect on glucose here: https://www.veri.co/learn/alcohol-and-blood-sugar. We are working hard to offer different options at different price points, as we want as many people as possible to be able to take their health into their own hands. Thank you for giving us a chance! To top health, Team Veri

  • Veri the Continuous Glucose Monitor

    I have been using for 4 weeks and liked it so much. The apps know what food I eat after a photo. So cool and advanced. Now I know what should and drink I should avoid. Back then u just guess and more like he say she say and YouTube say, now its live. It's worth trying for everybody. Cheers.

  • My experience with Veri has been great. Is so amazing to be able to learn how your body reacts to different foods. The app is super easy to use and understand. I sent a message to the support team and got a prompt response.

  • The Veri app has been extremely helpful in showing me what foods to eat so that my glucose levels stay more steady throughout the day .

  • How Veri Helped Me Lose 15 Pounds in 2 Weeks: A Wake-Up Call to My Eating Habits For four years, I had been battling with slow but steady weight gain. It felt like no matter what I tried—exercise routines, fad diets, or cutting back on carbs—nothing truly stuck and I’m even a fitness trainer. Then, I decided to give the Veri continuous glucose monitor (CGM) a try. It turned out to be a game-changer. At first glance, a CGM might seem like something only diabetics would need (which my family has a long history of), but Veri showed me just how powerful it could be for anyone wanting to understand their body better. The device continuously tracked my glucose levels in real-time, providing insights into how my body was responding to different foods and activities. Within the first week, I noticed something shocking: the foods I thought were healthy—like certain fruits and whole grains—were causing massive spikes in my glucose levels. Even worse, those mid-afternoon snacks I thought were harmless? They were sending my blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride, leading to cravings, crashes, and overeating later in the day. My love for certain snacks at night then going to bed showed me I was elevated my whole night of sleep! Which I knew was not good for me but now I get to see it for my own eyes. Armed with this new information, I began making changes. I swapped out high-glycemic foods for those that kept my blood sugar steady and started timing my meals more strategically. Instead of blindly following diet trends, I tailored my eating habits to what my body actually needed. The results were almost immediate. In just two weeks, I lost 15 pounds. But more than that, I felt in control again. I wasn’t just losing weight—I was understanding why I had gained it in the first place. My four-year weight gain wasn’t due to a lack of willpower or motivation; it was simply because I didn’t know how my body was reacting to the foods I was eating during Covid and the birth of my daughter. Veri didn’t just help me shed pounds; it gave me the knowledge to make lasting changes. I’m no longer guessing when it comes to my diet—I have the data to back it up. If you’ve been struggling with weight gain and nothing seems to work, I highly recommend giving Veri a try for at least a month. It might just reveal the missing piece of your health puzzle.

  • Insightful and educational app. I'm learning a lot about how my habits and meals affect my blood sugar. The information is really useful and timely. I'm sure I will have more to add after a longer time, but happy with this so far.

  • Being able to see how foods affect my blood sugar as well as how I feel during spikes or lows really helped me cultivate a good diet plan that fits my needs. I recently had a higher sugar coffee drink than normal but it barely spiked my blood sugar where weeks ago it spiked it like crazy. Just love the ease of use and good information at my finger tips

  • I went to the doctor for some advanced thyroid testing and feeling like death; during the routine bloodwork I noticed my glucose level was VERY low despite having eaten. The doctor dismissed it and further testing saying I was not diabetic, "no worries". Feeling like death is worrisome. I did my own research and discovered Veri to test my glucose levels. Turns out 'no worries' was reactive hypoglemia in the morning and large, out of control spikes in the afternoon. Veri and the CGM has been a miracle to help me understand my wild blood glucose levels. I am correcting things on my own. I have lost 10 pounds. I am learning how to eat properly for me and I feel so much better! I wish it was less expensive and covered by my insurance but it's a small price to pay not to deal with doctors that won't listen to their patients.

  • I love how easy it was to order and the tutorials Stage by Stage. Lots of great information. I don't understand how to log meals, as i take a picture of one thing and it captures something entirely different, or if i add something before the calculation is done, it overrides the prior picture/food, giving me the wrong evaluation/score for the food. Trying to enter food manually is also a challenge as not all options are found in the data base. Another thing I don't get is why i need to scan my sensor so often, with alarms of disconnect. At any rate, I have learned a ton about glucose and what spikes it, helping me a great deal to improve my choices and be more conscious about them.

  • Overall it has provided me with some profound insights into my metabolism and my body reactions to specific foods. People close have told me certain truths but it is something different all together when you see it backed up by hard data. As a person this was THE missing puzzle piece for me to change some deeply rooted habits.
