At-Home Diabetes Test Kit for Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Levels - A1c Home Test Kit - Free Follow-Up Care & Fast Lab Results

Bought this kit because I was curious/concerned about my HbA1c levels given my dietary habits. First, make sure you register your kit online. After you do, they have a video with instructions to follow (in addition to printed instructions included with your kit). Through my research, I noticed most mail in diabetes tests say to fast beforehand. I didn't read anything about that for this product, but decided to fast for 10 hours before drawing blood. The lancet worked well, and they provide an additional in case anything goes wrong. Blood wasn't really flowing out of my finger naturally, but I had success applying pressure to my finger and dabbing the blood droplets on the card (they say dabbing is okay but don't rub it on or anything). A prepaid return mailer is included in the kit. Make sure you follow the instructions and mail the sample back the same day you take it! They advise to do it early in the week (I'd suggest Monday or Tuesday) so that it's not delayed over the weekend by the post office. If you take too long to mail the sample, the blood may not be able to be successfully tested. I ordered my kit on Sunday and received it on Monday. Tuesday I provided the blood sample and dropped it off at the post office before their last collection. The package was delivered Friday and I had an e-mail saying my results were in about 10 hours later. I believe they offer follow up care/advice, but I can't speak to it as my results were normal and thus no follow up was necessary. I believe they also provide free replacements if there is a delay in the mail, as I received an e-mail about USPS potentially running behind schedule. It was very easy and convenient to take the blood test at home, and the results were fast as well! I was a little skeptical given that it seems to be the cheapest mail in diabetes test out there, but couldn't be happier with my purchase!

I will never buy this kit again. I took the test put it in the mail and afterward get several messages. Some saying the kit will not make it in time while others saying they'll replace it or refund the kit, and others saying they are testing it.I just want a refund at this point.

So after letting myself continuously indulge during this holiday season thus far, I wanted to know where I stood with my levels and thought this test would be a good choice.Spoiler alert: I indeed indulged too much and will have to reign it in a little for Christmas/New Year's.Having to take time out of my day to go to Quest is annoying and this was easy enough to collect at home and mail out the next day. I barely got any blood out with the first lancet but luckily they included a second one and I was able to fill in the circles.So yeah I would totally recommend this test. It was easy enough to use, convenient, and I got my results fairly quickly.

Shipped expired. The product expired six months ago. Other reviews have pointed out this issue but not fixed. Buyer beware

A good compromise when you don’t want to go to the doctor but your wife keeps nagging you to test your levels. Easy enough to use and mail out, after a few days I got my results and my wife was satisfied.

This was fairly easy to get the test done than I expected. Got the kit, took the sample, sent through the pre-paid label provided, was delivered quickly & within a few days result was available online. This was one of the easiest testing I have ever done rather than getting appointment and visiting offices/labs to get the test done that most of the time also has wait time. I would say for this convenience factor, this is highly recommended method. These are reasonably priced too comparing the labs in the city.

lancets were defective / not deployed

Test results come back fast!
