A1CNow SelfCheck, A1C Home Test, Includes Analyzer and 4 Tests, Displays Results in 5 Minutes, For Monitoring Glycemic Control in People with Diabetes, Fingerstick Sample

I find this test to be accurate. However user error is probably more often the cause of incorrect readings and errors. Not always of course. If you are careful, and follow the instructions exactly I think you will get a accurate enough result to sufficiently monitor your a1c between lab work. The lancet is disappointing and sometimes does not puncture adequately. It can be tricky to push the blood collector and other part together firmly. The other surprising point is how many users complain about accuracy but even glucose monitors with test strips are not required to be exact there is an allowable percentage for them to be deemed sufficient. It is convenient, reasonably priced and the more you use it the easier it is to use.

This home test is easy to use, and compares closely to lab results.

I am frequently testing my A1C since I have a DOT physical renewal coming up. I'm a type 2 with absolutely horrid blood sugars. But in recent times I overcame my food addiction and learned to take better control of my blood sugars. Thankfully 3 out of the 4 tests worked and represent the efforts of my diet change. The 1st test failed. After reading some advice to shake the unit itself a little bit after injecting the blood sample. I haven't had any issues ! Awesome test. Since an A1C costs around $45 where I live.

I work in the health field and run point of care lab tests/ABGs, BMPs, CHCs etc. The within day values reported fluctuate too greatly to be reliable. For example, two tests on the same day have readings of 6.1 and 4.8? Moreover, I tested it with a licensed lab, and the HBA1c value was 0.8 lower than a Quest lab result. So in other words, this is basically a random number generator. I would not make any health decisions based on this kit. Also, the number of failures per kit is unacceptable . Again, I am an experienced lab technician with 25 years of POC testing experience. 2 of the 4 tests in one recent kit just failed for unclear QC issues. Given the expense of this kit that is unacceptable. Do yourself a favor. Have your doctor order a verified lab HBA1C test or use one of those home kits where a real blood sample is taken. I have no idea how this was FDA approved. I rarely write reviews but in this case CAVEAT EMPTOR.

This meter is very consistent, but I have found it to be 0.3-0.5 lower than a commercial lab's results that I normally use for bloodwork. The test is very easy to perform and there are 4 tests in a single kit. Since this test is very consistent, I still use this kit and just adjust the results to track my A1C.

It seems to be fairly accurate, compared to test with Dr. Easy to use.

This worked really well and was easy to use. I see my doctor next week.So well then, no how accurate he reading was.But I was pleased with where my A1C was at after the holidays.

By following the instructions it's easy to use. Also if help is needed you can call their help number and a person will walk you through the process.
