How to Choose a Kit
You can purchase FDA-approved home A1C tests at pharmacies and online retailers. Several health insurance plans cover the cost, which can be between 50 to 150 dollars.
The equipment used for the test, such as replacement strips, can be bought separately, so ensure you have all the necessary parts. You should purchase your device from a reliable brand and make sure the packaging is sealed before first use.
