great accurate alternative option if you want to know where you are at for A1c testing
turn around time to receive kit, return kit and get results was very good!

lab visit to the best diabetic facility in the world - Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston - two weeks after showed an exact same test reading result.

This is a great option for those who haven't been diagnosed with diabetes. Once diagnosed, insurance will help pay for tests, but then you've got a "pre-existing condition" which might prevent you from getting coverage in the future (seen the movie "Sicko" yet?). Along with careful use of a meter, this test can give you an accurate picture of where you stand in this epidemic. Then you can go see your healthcare provider, way ahead of the curve, with an idea of where you stand and having a plan for action.

I only gave the test four stars since there was no online way to check my results. I think it took about 10 days to get my results even though the lab tests the blood on the day they receive it. Luckily for me, I dodged this bullet and have made the necessary lifestyle changes.

I tell all my patients that you are your ultimate healthcare provider. Use this information wisely and make good decisions. Do your homework!

I have used the company for years and like getting results for the hemoglobin A1c test before I visit the doctor.

I had used A1C home tests before, and I was expecting this one to be like that one. Previously I would get the reading in a few minutes right from home, just like a regular Diabetic Glucose reading.

This I needed to mail to a lab, and I have not received the results yet!

So we will see. Now you understand why I have been tardy with this review.
