Thanks for that.Not sure if they have improved since Jenny Ruhl wrote this blogpost in 2010? She doesn't rate them at all.

Do you have a link to the eBay auction, please? If you feel it goes again forum roooooolz, you could send me a private message?
I'm currently told if my next A1c is good I'll be moved onto annual testing. All things being equal, l will try to negotiate, but always like a Plan B in place.
I'm not getting anything up using that, but I'll trawl some more.I'm sure it doesn't contravene any rules if I tell you I did a search for 'A1cnow'. Alloneword.
Just make sure you check the use by date!
It is more expensive than the bulk order mentioned by someone above, but then, smaller orders always are...
Nor am I - there can't be any auctions up now... Keep trying, in a day or two.I'm not getting anything up using that, but I'll trawl some more.
Well I think this is why Bayer discontinued them and then sold off the unit or the licence to another group. That group I think includes the original designers and they say they have addressed the issues and now relaunched the product.Not sure if they have improved since Jenny Ruhl wrote this blogpost in 2010?

Well,I I did the test last night, a bit more complicated than taking a BG reading, but really very easy. Take a finger prick blood sample into the sampler provided, click it into the solution mixer and give it a quick shake. Insert the cartridge into the meter, wait until it is ready and put the solution mixer on the slot, push down then remove. The meter then counts down from 5 minutes and gives the result. 5.1% (32 in new money) for me - I'm well pleased! Although I know that it could be +/- about 1.0% in the worst case. I will now repeat on a monthly basis to keep track of movements up or down. I also intend to test the OH for a non-diabetic reading.
