[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 1879283, member: 45322"] Sure, if you Google for “coefficient of variation for HbA1c”, you’ll get a load of peer reviewed papers that have compared labs and home testing kits. One study found that the variation was 10%, most seem to be around 3-5%. I’m not sure it will affect diagnosis, since nondiabetics have an HbA1c around 35 mmol/mol. Accounting for a max of 10% error it could show as high as 39 mmol/mol, which I don’t think will trigger a diagnosis; nor will the patient have any symptoms of diabetes at that level. [/QUOTE]
