I think there was a monitor that has been removed from the market - I don't know why.

I've done the at home test and the result was similar to the lab. It took a long time to get the results.

I bought one from Amazon.com this spring. Don't recall the name, but it shouldn't be too hard too find on the site.

That's the only one out there anymore. The problem is they are so expensive because they do alot more analyzing than just a BG meter. They also take almost 10 minutes to give you a result back due to the process it takes to get an A1C.
