Default Home A1c Test

I recently ordered a Flexsite A1C test from it's website. You put a couple drops of blood on a card & send it to the lab & get your results a couple weeks later. In March I had one done at the Drs. & came out 6.2. I took the Flexsite test on July 9 & the results came back at 7.0. Since I have no health insurance & my Dr. wants paid cash for me to walk in the door this is a cheap way of keeping track of my A1C. That is, as long as it's accurate. Does anyone know the accuracy of these home tests compared to going to the Drs.?
