The test sticks are not included with this product. If you email customer support they will not send you the test sticks seperately, they will just send you several generic emails basically saying... if you don't like it send it back. So if you can find another deal (which I did see better) out on the web for a monitor alone for less you should consider it. The monitor has had great results for friends and family. I look forward to seeing the results. Unfortunately I went out and purchased sticks and began using it before I found out Amazon would not send me the test sticks that were missing.
