You get a finger pricker and something to put two samples on then you send it away to the lab. The results were e-mailed back three days after I posted it off and are DCCT aligned.
There used to be another company who did a meter called A1cNow which you could do on the spot, but they now only seem to do bulk packs for doctors, in the UK anyway. Home tests have been "coming soon" on their website for a very long time.
