Testing your A1c from home
My latest video shows how I used the Diabetech HomeCheck A1c test kit to test my A1c at home.This is the second time I've used this kit to check my A1c levels. Total cost for the kit is $35.34 including shipping to my home and shipping the test sample back to the Diabetech labs.
In the video I show how to use this simple kit. In the video I mention a form that needs the test date not your birth date. My mistake.
I mailed the test to Diabetech on Tuesday and last night, 3 days later, I got the results back my e-mail (I can also ask for them by postal mail) and they showed my A1c had improved from 7.6% in November to 6.8% in May. It's a great improvement and I really like that I can do this so easily at home. Total time from ordering the kit to getting the results was 10 days. Pretty good and I really liked the results I got.
Full disclosure: Kevin McMahon, the CEO of Diabetech, is a blogging acquaintance of mine. I've paid in full for both these tests and did this review without being asked to by Kevin. I like the product and admire the work that Diabetech has done to make diabetes management easier.
