About those home a1c tests

>Has anyone tried them?I'm wondering how accurate they are. Do you get an immediate reading?<

They're pretty accurate, from what I hear. For those who don't have a doctor and/or insurance, using one of those kits might be useful for some kind of check on "how am I doing", I suppose. The result isn't nearly as fast as our glucose tests-- I think I heard 5-10 minutes? You could go to google and get all kinds of info, I'm sure.
