84% of Type 2's think they're doing just fine. But in reality, 67% of those patients are out of control.
if they feel nothing's wrong, they see no need to do anything differently.

It's been shown that a 1% reduction in A1C lowers
risk of complications such as eye, kidney and nerve
disease by 40%
Bayer's A1CNow+ monitor provides accurate,
in-office A1c results, empowering physicians to
make
on the spot treatment decisions for their
patients with diabetes.
Getting quick, accurate A!C results just got
even easier with the new
A1CNow+ Sampler.

Clinical Accuracy
The A1CNow+ test is annually certified(7) by the National
Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and therefore traceable
to the DCCT. Further, each lot is factory calibrated using a set of
blood samples that have been quantitated by an NGSP certified
laboratory using an NGSP certified method. Since in-field calibration
is neither needed nor possible, the user cannot alter the accuracy of
the test. Allowing for the normal variation seen with all laboratory
methods, a 7 percent A1C using A1CNow+ will thus be, on average, the
same as a 7 percent A1C on other instruments that are also calibrated
to NGSP standards.
Advanced Technology
- Uses micro-optical
technology that
provides results
equivalent to the
most sophisticated
lab equipment.
- Simultaneously
conducts two, independent
A1C tests
and compares the
results to ensure
accuracy.
- Utilizes both
immunoassay and
chemistry
technology
