DIABETES TESTS

from

Home Health Testing®

Diabetes Tests are important tools in controlling diabetes mellitus. A significant portion of the adult population in the US between the ages of 20 and 74 suffers from undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. Diagnosis often occurs after the onset of severe and often irreversible complications. Diabetes Tests can help you identify diabetes mellitus before it progresses.

Diabetes can affect every organ system in the body, and is the leading cause of preventable blindness, lower extremity amputation, and end-stage renal disease. Persons with diabetes are also at an increased risk for hypertension, stroke and heart disease.

The American Diabetes Association recommends that all adults over the age of 45 receive a glucose test annually. Among those most at risk are overweight people over 40 who do not exercise, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and those with a family history of diabetes.

We offer 2 types of diabetes glucose tests to meet your needs:

• The Chemcard® Glucose test - recommended for nondiabetics to measure the glucose level of your blood to make sure that you are not at risk.
• The Biosafe Diagnostics Hemoglobin A1c test - recommended for known diabetics to help make sure that your diabetes is under control.

This test can identify individuals with abnormal blood glucose levels which is often associated with diabetes or other carbohydrate metabolic disorders.

The Biosafe Hemoglobin A1c Diabetes Test

According to Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999 "As a diabetic, I know that adhering to your doctor's treatment plan isn't always easy - especially when you have a busy schedule. Its critical, however, for you to work closely with your doctor in order to better manage your disease."

"One of the most important steps you can take is to comply with your doctor's ongoing request for a Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement 4 times each year. Test results help all physicians to better direct patient treatment."

Biosafe Diagnostics has introduced a new A1c test designed to change the way testing is done. The test is accurate, convenient and easy-to-use. It enables self-collection of a dried blood sample for laboratory analysis.

The Biosafe Diagnostics Hemoglobin A1c Test offers you the accuracy and reliability of a laboratory test - but eliminates the need for a separate trip to have your blood drawn.

The Biosafe Diagnostics Hemoglobin A1c test is the best way for your doctor to obtain an overall picture of your blood sugar control over the last three months. Because doing so is sometimes inconvenient, HbA1c testing has been easy for diabetic patients to ignore - and they have.

Hemoglobin A1c measures provide the most reliable assessment of glucose management. The American Diabetes Association reported that as a result of the 10 year Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) serious complications such as blindness, kidney failure, stroke and amputation were decreased by up to 67% by keeping blood sugar levels close to the non-diabetic range. Hemoglobin A1c tests and frequent blood sugar monitoring are the only way to demonstrate blood sugar control.

Biosafe's new Hemoglobin A1c Test enables your doctor to obtain laboratory results on a dried blood sample that you collect yourself. Because the Biosafe Diagnostics A1c test can be done in advance of your next doctor's visit, that visit will now be even more productive. At your option you can have your test results sent to yourself, or if you prefer, directly to your physician.

The Biosafe Diagnostics Hemoglobin A1c Test provides the same clinical results that can be obtained from a local laboratory, but without the inconvenience of keeping an appointment and the need to draw blood from the arm. The process is very quick and virtually painless.

A special finger lancet is supplied in the Biosafe Blood Collection Kit. With it, three drops of blood are taken from a micro-nick of the finger, placed on a special collection card to dry, inserted into the special mailer provided, and then sent (postage paid) to the Biosafe Diagnostics CLIA certified laboratory for analysis. Test results are available in approximately 5 days.
