A1CNow+ HbA1c Test Kits

The A1CNow+ system from PTS Diagnostics gives you a lab-quality picture of average blood glucose over the past two to three months — without sending anything out to a lab. A single fingerstick of whole blood delivers an HbA1c result in about five minutes, making these kits a practical choice for clinicians tracking diabetes management and for individuals who want to check their own control between doctor visits.

Which kit you need comes down to setting and volume. The A1CNow+ Rapid HbA1c Test Kit (3021) is CLIA-waived, so it's suited to physician offices, pharmacies, and clinics that need a professional, point-of-care result on demand. The A1CNow Self Check kits (PTS3070) are built for personal use at home, available as a single 4-test box or in a 48-kit case for programs and higher-throughput needs. Each Self Check kit runs four tests, letting you establish a baseline and then confirm the direction your numbers are heading over time.

Because A1C reflects a longer window than a daily glucose meter, it answers a different question: not "where am I right now," but "how has my control held up." That makes it useful alongside routine finger-stick monitoring rather than a replacement for it. Results generally align with lab HbA1c reporting, so what you see maps to the targets your provider discusses.

A few practical notes buyers ask about: the tests use whole blood from a fingerstick, everything needed to run the test is included in the kit, and no separate analyzer purchase is required for the Self Check version. Store kits as directed and check expiration dating, since reagent chemistry is time-sensitive.
