A1CNOW®
SELF CHECK
Attention: People with Diabetes
Fast, affordable HbA1c results are
available with the A1CNow SELF
CHECK system in a 2-test home kit
Fast. Effi cient. Accurate.
A quarterly HbA1c measurement, a 2- to 3-month average of a
person's blood glucose control, is a clear indicator of how well a
person with diabetes is keeping their diabetes under control. Some
people with diabetes may fi nd that carrying out HbA1c tests with
the A1cNow Self Check between routine tests may help to improve
their diabetes control. Your GP/hospital team will still need to
perform these tests for their records. If you use the A1cNow Self
Check test, you should seek support from your healthcare team -
your GP, diabetes specialist nurse or your pharmacist - for advice
on your results and any actions to take.
The A1CNow® SELF CHECK system is a fast,
easy, accurate and affordable way to measure
your HbA1c from the comfort of your own
home.
Available online at www.bhr.co.uk or through
your local pharmacist.
With just a
simple fi ngerstick,
your HbA1c results
is provided in only
5 minutes from a
handheld device.
