- The most important test for managing diabetes can now be done at home
- A1c Now At Home was cleared by FDA for at-home and in-office
- The American Diabetes Association recommends HbA1c testing two to four
times annually for all people with diabetes
The A1cNow Monitor is the first A1C test
that gives you accurate results at home — no visit to the lab, painful
venipuncture or sample to mail in. The A1cNow Monitor is fast, easy to use, and
requires only a small drop of blood. The test is disposable, so you use it once
and throw it away — no meter to keep track of or batteries to replace.
Daily Glucose Testing and A1C Testing While daily blood glucose testing tells
you what your blood sugar level is at the time you test, A1C testing tells you
your "average" blood sugar level over the past 2–3 months. Both
tests are very important in protecting your long-term health. Maintaining
healthy A1C levels will help reduce your risk of diabetes complications such as
blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage, stroke, and heart failure.
