[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 544067, member: 102150"] Fair question. I just decided I wanted to have my HBA1c done more than once a year, like maybe every quarter or even every month, so I could see if I was making progress towards good control. It's a bit **** to try for a year to get it right, then see the doctor once a year and they say "oh you got it wrong, better luck next year". I wanted better feedback on whether what I was doing was working or not. So I bought the kits. I did previously ask my GP if I could have quarterly HBA1c tests, explaining my reasons, and they laughed me out of the office. In the event however my control was so bad, and I wasn't making any decent effort to improve it, that I didn't use the tests and now they are past their expiry date. Which is terrible of me. So I am really hoping they are massively over engineered and are still accurate. I will calibrate today's test against my hospital HBA1c on Monday and see if it's a close match or not. [/QUOTE]
