[QUOTE="candyfloss, post: 321147, member: 22319"] Hi Snodger, no I havnt tried Myrios for any tests yet, maybe in the future and I'll report on my experiences if I do. However, we did have one forum member try them recently and I have quoted their comment below....... I had an A1cNow test pack available and used it the day before I was due to have one done by my GP a couple of weeks ago. It came out at 5.8. The NHS result was 41 which I think equates to 5.9 in old money. The difference is less than 2% (in this case) and I'm happy to continue supplementing the NHS HbA1c with an extra home test (or private lab test) once or twice a year as I now rarely test blood glucose on a daily basis. I have a very good idea what food and drink will and will not raise levels and daily testing is not going to work out much cheaper, if at all. I appreciate that average glucose results hides troughs and peaks but until continuous glucose monitors become widely available, easy to use and cheap (probably never) I'll continue with the same strategy.
