[QUOTE="Alison Campbell, post: 1636684, member: 91555"] The HBA1C is an average over 8-12 weeks, 24/7 and homes tests will just provide snap shot results around meals mostly so it's hard to compare with any accuracy. Although both are blood tests they are testing in different ways. There are apps that you can put your test results into and it can estimate your HBA1C , I think [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] tried this. To be honest when you have been testing for years you get a good idea how your tests at home will relate to your HBA1C. The website of this forum has some converters between home testing units and HBA1C so if you put in an average of your home tests in it would give an idea how that equates to HBA1C. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] If you used a continous monitoring device like the freestyle libre this will work out at estimated HBA1C and as this technology improves I image it will be more accurate.
