So, I picked up a home A1C kit from my local Walgreens today (pharmacy). It's the store brand, which appears to be the same as the version previously marketed by Bayer.
Anyway, anyone have any experience with how accurate these tests are? I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much - my result came back at a 5.3, and a lot of the information about these types of tests on the internet is either dated or conflicting . . . and I really want that result to be accurate! I'm almost a month past the end of my 8 week Newcastle Diet.
Any advice, experiences, or thoughts? (the more recent the better!). My last A1C, taken almost exactly a month ago, was 7.0
