The At Home Hemoglobin A1c Test allows you to test your HbA1c accurately from the privacy of your own home. While glucose monitoring is vital for day-to-day diabetes management, long term blood glucose control requires an additional measurement: average blood glucose levels. A1c testing measures your average blood sugar over the course of the last 3 months. The At Home Hemoglobin A1c Test helps you maintain better control of your blood sugar, in essence helping you control your diabetes.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends HbA1c testing for all people with diabetes at least twice a year, and four times annually for those requiring insulin injections. However, according to a nationwide survey by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE), only 25 percent of people with diabetes know their HbA1c level and less than 20 percent have their HbA1c tested regularly.

Due to the convenience of the At Home Hemoglobin A1c Test, compliance is easy. Being involved in the process helps the patient to better understand the goals his or her physician has set and what needs to be done in order to achieve them.
