Using the HomeCheck A1c test
This test is provided by Diabetech and is a relatively low cost way to check your A1c from home.
Correction: The form doesn't want your BIRTH date, it's looking for the date the test sample was taken.
This is my second time using the test. It's quick and easy. The first time I used it, the result was within 0.2 of what I got from my doctor's office.
