[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2655578, member: 155453"] Welcome to the forum [USER=582192]@MuraliN[/USER] I wouldn't get too hung up on the Hba1c prediction, they sometimes get close but rarely match your actual Hba1c results. I know we all think of the Hba1c as an average of blood sugar over 12 weeks or so, but the truth is it's not exactly an average. It measures how much glucose has stuck to the blood cells over their lifetime. Blood cells live for 2 to 3 months , unless you know exactly how long they hang around it can't be a true average. Do they live the full 12 weeks? Maybe they cling to life for a few days extra, or perhaps they kick the bucket at 8 week's? We could have exactly the same blood sugar levels but if your cells live 12 weeks and mine only 9, your Hba1c will be higher than mine because it's had an extra 3 week's to cook. The data from the sensor will be a true average worked out from your actual blood sugar levels over a known period of time. [/QUOTE]
