CVS sells A1c test kits (2 tests ) for about 25.00 so can be done at home. Walmart has Reli-On testers for under 20.00 and test strips, 9.00 for 20, 20.00 for 50,and another with 100 strips cheap. Worth it if you want to test more often.

LOVE the idea of A1C testing for people who haven't been diagnosed with diabetes yet!

When my husband was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I would ask him his "numbers" every time he tested himself. I quickly realized that this was stressing him out in a situation that was already very stressful because my reaction often reinforced his anxiety. Now, I never ask. I let him tell me, and he does. As a result, we are both more relaxed about his health. (His A1C was 6.1 last time it was checked. He's doing great!)
MORE INFORMATION:
When he was diagnosed with diabetes, his A1C was over 13 so his A1C reassures us both that he's truly taking care of himself.
