Hey There!

Just got my latest HbA1c results back -- 5.3%. Not as wonderful as the previous 5.1% but I don't see that as a huge difference (besides I know I was a little off plan during the past 90 days)

I'm feeling good, the weather is nice, tandeming is great, and I thought I'd share some good news!

well done! :D
I have a question... Do average BG results reflect in A1c nubmers at all?

Stuboy,

As I keep a chart and spreadsheet on my daily testing with my meter (Yeah, I'm that kind of "OC" person) I can say that my testing averages a bit above the HbA1c resuts for the same time period. However, I don't test myself while sleeping, nor in-between testing scheduled times where the BG levels may actually be lower. On balance it is a confirmation of what I already know from daily testing.

That is all that reflects in it. It does not reflect the max or min. So three readings of 100 will reflect the same as readings of 50, 50, and 200. There is also a thing to consider in that fluctuation is also more damaging than a steady high. How high that is, I don't know. But the A1C is an average of your past 3 months, with 50% weighted towards the last month.

Way to go Ronin!

Wish mine was that good! 7.2, 6.6 and :red: 9.7 are my numbers. Mind you, the 9.7 was before I got my act together and started dealing with my diabetes (and the rest of my life) properly.
