[QUOTE="Dan Lockwood, post: 2019684, member: 502143"] I did a quick search and nothing came up, but I'm sure this topic has been discussed before. If so, can someone post a link to a thread on A1c self test kits? They run from $40 a pop all the way up over $100. I found a A1c Now SelfCheck kit with four test strips and four lances for $54. I've read some good and some bad with them and was not happy with my performance in reducing my A1c, but when my doc retook all of my blood work it was only around 3 months since I started the program. I really thought that I should have been lower than I was. I started at 7.6 and when retested I was down to 6.7. About five years ago I just lost weight on my own and kept eating things that I know now probably were not helping me much, but at that time I dropped down to 6.4. The program I'm on now started out of the gate as gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, no rice, pasta, pizza, breads, pastries, potatoes, beans etc. I drink nothing but water and do not drink any alcohol or smoke. It was hard over the holidays to not sample all the pies, candy, fast foods etc, but I've not cheated once. So does anyone have any experience with the A1c self test kits? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
