This is my review of PTS Diagnostic's home HbA1c testing kit "A1CNow+" I don't remember where/when I first heard about the A1CNow home kit for testing HbA1c, but it was a while ago. Then, it was produced by Bayer, at least as early as 2010. It was acquired by PTS Diagnostics within the last...

Hi, So I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. My brother was diagnosed when he was 9 so I was aware of the symptoms so thankfully caught it early and managed to be in and out of hospital with no complications. I started off religiously caring about hba1c and eating correctly, but over the years...

My previous diabetes blood test around 6 months ago went from fasting to non fasting. No need to fast now I was told and my HBa1c had risen from around 36 to 51. The rise was mentioned as worrying, I couldn't help thinking it was a result of not fasting! Today I was told my hba1c is good at 50...
