A1c AT Home™ is a new convenient, cost effective concept in HbA1c (Glycohemoglobin) testing. While glucose (blood sugar) monitoring is vital for day-to-day diabetes management, long-term blood glucose control requires an additional measurement: average blood sugar levels. The most accurate measurement of the average glucose level, according to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), is the HbA1C or glycated hemoglobin test.
A1c AT Home™ has been cleared by the FDA since 1997 for over-the-counter (OTC) sales.

KidneyScreen At Home ™is a new convenient mail-in laboratory for measuring microalbumin levels in the urine, which is the proven way to detect dysfunction early enough to avoid developing kidney disease, which is prone to happen in diabetes for example. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), 20%-30% of individuals with diabetes develop kidney disease. This is in spite of the fact it's one of the most preventable of all the devastating complication of diabetes. The key is early detection.
KidneyScreen At Home ™ has been cleared by the FDA since August 2000 for over-the-counter (OTC) sales.

An expert task force formed by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), in a report published recently in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (2002;39: supplement) concludes that ten of millions of Americans are at high risk of kidney failure but are not given routine tests that could slow or even stop the progression of the disease. The panel is now recommending that high-risk individuals--including the elderly, those with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease--get three key tests when visiting their doctor: a test to measure creatinine levels in the blood, a screen to check for protein in the urine, and a simple blood pressure measurement. Studies performed in recent years have linked elevated levels in each test to an increased risk of kidney disease and possible failure.
