[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2312033, member: 41816"] Hi, [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] no, I don’t usethe A1c tests now. I tried them several years ago and got a series of dud results, and gave up on them. I suspect that the tests have improved in the interim, so are probably much more reliable, by now. However, I have always had discrepancies between my finger prick tests and my HbA1c results. I suspect it is to do with my personal glycation rate. So I prefer to go by my prick tests. As for home HbA1cs, yes, they have been around for years. We used to have to buy them in packs of 3 or 10, keep them in the fridge and pay postage from the States, but that may also have changed by now. [/QUOTE]
