Product Description
The BIOSAFE Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) blood test is a laboratory procedure that measures the total amount of hemoglobin A1c in your blood. Comparing the results of your initial HbA1c test to the results of subsequent tests can determine the progress you've made in properly managing your diabetes. The specimen collection process is quick, easy and virtually painless. Using the special lancet (included in the BIOSAFE Blood Collection Kit), a couple of drops of blood are taken from a nick of a finger and deposited onto a special collection card. The card is then sent to BIOSAFE Laboratories for analysis. BIOSAFE tests your blood sample to see how much HbA1c is present and then mails the results back to you in an easy-to-read, understandable report. Routine monitoring of your HbA1c level is just one of the very important steps that you must take to help keep your diabetes under control. Without HbA1c testing you're taking unnecessary risks. BIOSAFE has made HbA1c testing more convenient than ever. Don't delay another day -- Your life is far too important! Includes laboratory authorization form; blood collection card in foil pouch; easy to understand instructions; alcohol prep; gauze pad; 2 lancets; adhesive bandage; and postpaid paid return mail envelope. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

Slow and more blood,
This review is from: Biosafe Diabetes (A1c) Test, Blue (1 test) (Health and Beauty)
(This is an update as of September 25, 2007.) I have now used the test four times. The claim that the test requires only a couple of drops of blood is a little glib. The lancets in the last three kits were much better than the ones in the first kit (the new lancets can produce some BIG drops of blood), but in order to comply with the instructions you will probably need more than one finger stick. The results have been consistent with the laboratory results I get through my doctor and the results I used to get with the now-discontinued Choice A1C Home Test. The time from mailing to receipt of results in New Jersey has gotten steadily worse -- 7, 12, 14 and 20 days, but it is possible to get a real person on the phone to give you the test result. Biosafe's privacy policy is very weak and their laboratory authorization form is intrusive. I declined to disclose my Social Security number and e-mail address.

This review is from: Biosafe Diabetes (A1c) Test, Blue (1 test) (Health and Beauty)
This is a fine product. Directions are clearly illustrated and easy to follow. If you only need "three drops" of blood, they will have to be very large drops; still, if you're used to pricking your fingers, this should be no big deal.
Cost is very reasonable. Test results came promptly in the mail. And the results matched a laboratory A1C, I had performed during the same week, just to confirm the results, and help me decide whether I want to use the BioSafe kit again. I definitely do plan to use it again, and again...and....

The test results from Biosafe Lab. was within 3% of the results from my Doctors Lab results, and at less than half the cost!
