Home HbA1C Test Accuracy

I know I read somewhere in these forums about the Choice DM Home HbA1C testing kit... but can't seem to find where! Anyhow, I ordered a test kit from costco.com - received it yesterday - and took the test last night. The result came back about where I might have expected it to - 4.9 - compared to previous results I've had through my doctor. However, the thing brought back painful memories of my chemistry lab classes and it seems like there is a lot of opportunity to mess up this test.

I am wondering if anyone else has used one of these test kits at home and what their experience was with its accuracy (compared to having it done in a doctor's office) and what they thought about its complexity to use.

Thanks for your time! -Bryan
