Check out this very important update on hemoglobinopathies in our midst.  It’s nice to have our HomeCheck-A1c solution validated, finally.  Since our approach includes hemoglobinopathy detection via HPLC-BA as step 1 followed by a second analysis by the most accurate method for determining A1c (HPLC-IE).  HomeCheck delivers the solution to the problem raised by this bulletin which does not offer a clear answer in and of itself.

It’s nice when things happen ahead of schedule. Starting this week, HomeCheck is available in select Retail Pharmacies over the counter.

Due to the extreme accuracy and convenience of the HomeCheck-A1c, this hematology test is used to assess blood sugar control by people with diabetes, to determine elevated glucose levels in undiagnosed people with diabetes and those with a condition known as pre-diabetes, and to determine if there is an increased risk for heart attack in the non-diabetic.

Next time you’re in a retail pharmacy, you might look to see if they already carry home diagnostic test kits for cholesterol, etc… The future of testing at home is bright and promises to improve the availability and frequency of critical health feedback, but only if the quality of these tests are high. Fortunately, HomeCheck is here to raise the bar.

As reported today in a Kansas City infoZine article , the NIH/NIDDK has launched an A1c awareness campaign relating to the various methods of testing blood for A1c and their ability (more like inability) to deliver accurate results. Considering over 850 causes of interference with A1c testing, most A1c’s are at risk of delivering the wrong information and that problem exists in both directions; falsely high and falsely low and that could spell big problems for the patient.

Fortunately, we saw this coming and have been developing our HomeCheck-A1c over the past 24 months. It is unique in its ability to detect these variants and also uses the most highly accurate method in one of the highest quality labs in the country to ensure good information based on sound science.

Like I said, everyone needs to have a reliable A1c and you can’t get that unless you use HomeCheck-A1c!
