Also sold at most pharmacies.

Hi all, I am sorry if this is not fit for here, and by no means a replacement. I highly recommend going to the Doctor for actual test results. That being said, there is the idea of a home A1C check at home. I've used this before between doc visits to check how I am doing and see if more fundamental changes are needed and keep myself on track. I got mine at a local big name pharmancy (Shoppers Drug Mart) But, you should be able to find locally or online. as a quick link: https://www.amazon.ca/A1CNOW-SELFCHECK-TEST-DIAGNOSTICS-DIABETES/dp/B004N11OGQ

Again, not a replacement, but can give a measure overall and just how quickly you really should get to a Doctor. Hope it helps :)

Looks like you can still get the Bayer on Amazon, at least for a while. One example:

EDIT to add more information about why A1CNow is still available:

Wow. I think he really needs an A1c test done. Perhaps showing him how poorly he's doing will have some effect. You can even buy an instant home A1c meter and force him to take it.

Does he even see an endocrinologist? Has he had a thorough vision exam?

i had the exact opposite experience. i bought the A1CNOW from amazon and had absolutely no issues with it. both tests (since it comes with 2 in the pack) were within .2 of eachother (5.6 and 5.4) and averaged out to the 5.5 i got from the lab a month prior.

  • i extracted as much blood as i do for normal blood tests.
  • note, too much will invalidate the test. anyone saying they need 5 times more than what a normal blod sugar test requires did not read the instructions or watch the video tutorial

  • mixing it and being on a time limit is no bug deal. you have plenty of time assuming you know what youre doing and read the instructions first.
  • the packaging warns you repeatedly that you are on a time limit. trying to figure it out as you go along is foolish.

  • yes, the meter only works with the included sample holder. had you read the instructions, you'd know that.

  • results take about 5 minutes to process. theres a timer so its not a big deal. set it on a table and leave it alone for 5 minutes.

    tldr: yes, this is a bit more complex than a blood sugar test. but assuming you read the instructions, you should have no problem with it at all. if you dont read the instructions, you have noone to blame but yourself.
