"Bayer's A1CNow SELFCHECK provides patients with a new way to partner with their healthcare providers to better achieve good blood sugar control on both a daily basis and over the long-term," said Sandra Peterson, president of Bayer Diabetes Care.

A1CNow SELFCHECK, available for purchase through leading online pharmacies, comes as a 2-test-kit for a suggested sale price of $29.99. For more information or to find out where you can buy this meter, visit www.A1CNOW.com or www.A1CNOWSELFCHECK.com. These websites also contain valuable educational information for patients to help them better understand and track their A1C progress.
