The MyStar Extra® contains a tool that estimates A1c. The estimated
A1c tool is intended for at home use by people with Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes to monitor average glycemic control. The estimated A1c is
intended to raise A1c awareness by providing an estimated A1c value
and trend in between HCP visits.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use these ~A1c values to make treatment decisions.
Any changes in treatment must be done in consultation with your
physician.
Notice to physicians: extreme care should be used when making
dosing decisions for medications for which hypoglycemia is a
potential side e ect, for example sulfonylureas, mitiglinide and
repaglinide.
No dosing changes should ever be made for insulin based on
~A1c results.
