[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2370716, member: 460354"] Hi [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] thanks for the tag. I've used various methods of tracking my a1c. When I was first diagnosed I tracked it with the mysugr app. I find the mysugr app very accurate - when I put a good few readings a day in. But it does mean lots of finger pricking to get a very accurate reading as you know! I have used a libre sensor for about 18 months. Self funded so expensive, and I find the first day or so it reads lower than actual, and last day also. This, over the months, has brought down my estimated a1c considerably (see below). I've used Thriva (fab service). I found this a1c test extremely accurate. Swift turn around too. i had my annual bloods done at my surgery September '20. I did an a1cnow test earlier in the morning so I could compare results. I had used Thriva for hba1c a few days before (I'm a little obsessive!). Thriva results were almost identical to my actuals for every test I requested (I asked for other tests too). A1c - for info: 21/9 - GP - 36 (5.4) 21/9 - A1CNOW - 27 (4.6) 10/9 - thriva - 33 (5.2) Libre sensor was 30 (4.9) I usually buy 10 x a1cnow tests at a time. I do one a month. The expiry date is 6 months (120 days) so I'm pushing my luck but the results seem in range even past this date. I usually buy 10 for about £115 from: [URL]https://www.medisave.co.uk/bhr-a1cnow-hba1c-blood-testing-system-with-10-tests.html?[/URL] Or [URL]https://millermedicalsupplies.com/a1cnowr-hba1c-whole-blood-tester.html[/URL] Hope this helps.
