[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2310774, member: 482479"] I'm interested to know what the benefits might be of doing the test at home, not trying to start an argument or anything, but I wouldn't have thought, for the cost, you would get enough use out of a machine to test at home, how often would you use it? When I go for my hospital appointments they do the hba1c test there and then, I'm not sure how long it takes as the result gets passed to the consultant and then they tell you what it is, but it's a novelty to me as when I go to the doctors to get it done it takes several days to get the results and at the hospital I went to when I was younger you had to fill a small vial yourself and send it to the hospital 2 weeks before your appointment :hilarious: [/QUOTE]
