Description
The A1CNow Self-Check allows you to understand your HbA1c from the comfort of home, with results in just 5 minutes. Daily glucose monitoring is important for short term control, but the HbA1c provides a snapshot of the previous 2-3 months to support longer-term blood glucose management. It also provides the opportunity to measure in between your NHS blood tests, empowering you to take full control of your diabetes all year round.
Reducing HbA1c levels can reduce the risk of developing certain diabetes-related complications, such as cardiac disease or kidney failure.
