The ADA recommends that healthcare professionals use A1C point-of-care testing for timely decisions on therapy changes [2]
Giving diabetes patients on-the- spot feedback on their A1C number may result in a 1% point reduction in their A1C [3]
A 1% point reduction lowers the risk of serious complications by 40% [1]

* Study results with healthcare professionals showed that the accuracy of A1CNow+ with fingerstick samples was, on average, 99%. This means that, on average, a true 7.0% A1C could read approximately 6.9%A1C. An individual A1CNow+ result may differ by as much as -1.0% A1C to +0.8% A1C from the true result. This represents the 95% confidence limits of a Bland-Altman plot.
