PTS Diagnostics A1C Now+ Multi-Test Blood Glucose Monitor (10 tests/box)

I tested each of my kids and confirmed one with pre Diabetes. Great kit to use and confirm what we need to do to stay ahead of this since Diabetes is in family. They don’t mark the box like they should when it is “out of refrigeration” since it is critical to know for longevity of tests. Expiration was 9/2020 and with full refrigeration can be 14 months and without is only 4 months. You have to keep track of that and kit also has this safety label that detects of was in over 120 degrees which could ruin kit. I liked that. Very accurate too. I test my sugars up to ten times per day and my average was .1 off but I say was 100% compared to time/test fluctuations. I wasted one test only cause I was talking to daughter and didn’t wait for “sample” to come on screen to inject sample into meter. This really is easy to use

excellent

This is the 2nd time I purchased A1C now. I have only done one test from this box, which went smoothly, and I have no way to judge the accuracy except that the result was close to one from several months ago. With my first box of A1C now, the test only worked 7 times out of 10, with error messages the other times. The issue appeared to be at the step where the blood is applied to the test card- the applicator must be pushed down forcefully. Hopefully the tests will continue to run properly.

These test are highly inaccurate. I have been managing my diabetes with diet alone, no medication for over 2 years. I rely heavily on daily blood glucose testing and at home A1C test kits. I have used a few brands. Most are close to accurate. Usually with .1-.3 in comparison with a blood draw A1C test. I know how to use these tests well since I have been using them for over 2 years. These test are extremely inaccurate. I tested twice back to back because as soon as I tested I knew the test was probably faulty. The tests came in at 5.0 and 5.2. I knew those numbers were way too low so I went and paid for a real blood draw test and in reality I was a 6.0. Very, very different numbers. These tests need to be more accurate for the safety of diabetics who use these for routine monitoring. I contacted the seller for a refund since these tests were horribly inaccurate. They blamed it on me, saying it needs the right amount of blood each time. Yes, I know that and I know how to use these kits. They did not give me a refund and told me to contact customer service. I reached out to them through Amazon. Not sure what difference it would make to call. I will not purchase this brand nor will I purchase from this seller again.

Nice to see this product available once again; it's good for what I'm trying to do. I'm type 2, so I use this monthly as an indicator of the efficiency of my diet and exercise behavior beyond the regular stick test. At this price it's cheaper than going to the doctor and lab -- and smarter than going without! KEEP THIS IN MIND: For some of the other reviewers ... if you want scientific accuracy, see the doctor and "trust" that their figures are more accurate. How would you know? This is another reason I ADD this to my toolbox for dealing with my diabetes. This is a tool that provides a 60-90 day measure of my sugar levels. I use this data not only as a slice-in-time reading, but also as a way to collect a series of data points that can be used to observe trends over time -- that's why I buy this and use it as I do. If my trend is a cause for concern, I act. All I'm saying is that this is a good tool for monitoring trends, big-picture.

I found that this test kit was very easy to use. I used the test just before I was supposed to get my lab run for the A1C. The test said I was at 6.7 and my hospital results were 7.0 -- so extremely close and accurate.

I have been using this A1C test every month for more than a year and it is very accurate. Several times I have compared it to my doctor’s test results and it has come up the same. I totally recommend this product. Just be sure it is at room temperature before you use it or it may not give you a reading.

This is a great product offering at an excellent price point. I also compared the results against those from the lab doing similar tests for my doctor's office and it was quite accurate. The test is a little trickier to perform than a standard finger stick test and you do need to follow the instructions carefully, but it's not difficult. Results take about five minutes. This kit does not include a lancet, but anyone using this will have one of those.
