Has anyone experience of the A1C Now HbA1c tester and more to the point have compared it to surgery taken blood sample levels as a measure of its accuracy?

Yes, I used it a few years ago. Within minutes of a blood draw at NHS phlebotomy service.

A1c now came in 6 points lower than the NHS test..

I reversed my Type 2

I have. For me, the results were within 0.1% when I did a test on the same day.

To be clear, this was a while ago now, but I can't think it'd be too different now.

I did have a box of four tests, the first 3 were close match. The last wasn’t.

Are you saying they were all 6 points out and the last even more or less, or were 3 reasonably in agreement with NHS?
