[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1037890, member: 41816"] Hi, The HbA1c test is, basically, an average of your bg levels over the last 2-3 months. You can have a good score on the HbA1c and still get wild swings, hypers, hypos, etc. A home meter bg finger prick test is a snapshot of what your bg is at that moment. It varied through the day, rising and falling depending on stress, sleep deprivation, exercise and of course exactly [I][B]which[/B][/I] food and drink you choose to eat. Neither test gives the whole picture, but put them together, and you can work out a lot of things - best diet, why you feel ill or well, how you react to certain foods, risks of long term health complications... Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
