Here is what Janet an RN CDE (Certified
Diabetes Educator for a leading Ohio Based
Children's Hospital) has to say about how her
physicians utilize this test for their patients with
diabetes.
"Working with pediatric patients, our             
 physicians encourage the use of A1c            
At-Home(R) kit because of the ease of      
use for our patients and their families;         
and for the comfort of the child - having       
no lab draw. The results are timely and        
we encourage it to be done prior to the        
appointment, so results can be          
reviewed at the next appointment."
Diabetes Test -  A1c At-Home(R) offers
children with diabetes, their parents and
healthcare professionals who provide
diabetes care, a unique advantage over
traditional A1c lab testing.  The test, which
is initiated at home using a "fingerstick"
sample of blood, offers young patients and
their parents a less traumatic alternative
than a laboratory visit and a vein puncture
draw.

Less time spent to and from appointments
means more time for kids to just be kids.

MOMS - No other test can tell you how your kids have managed their glucose
levels when they are not at home.  An A1c Test will let you know their
average glucose (Glycohemoglobin) level over the last 90 days even when
you aren't there to test their glucose.
