Is anyone else doing good quality home-testing/monitoring devices for other metrics? I occasionally look around for e.g. cholesterol and find that home kits are not thoroughly reviewed or unreliable if reviewed more thoroughly. In addition, they often miss important values or are considered painful/awkward to use. You could think of a few other metrics you might want to collect at home (say, kidney/liver function), and urine sticks seem the best option right now.

For blood glucose the problem seems more-or-less solved at a basic level (I've tried an Aviva Nano, seems pretty good) due to diabetic demand. I'm sure integration and further improvements are possible but I personally would like to see more frequent monitoring of more metrics.
