[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1510914, member: 400972"] Yes, I tried it, last week was my first HbA1c since diagnosis. This is how I described what I did: "I didn't know if it would work as my daily readings are just eight snapshots and I didn't know what my sugars were doing inbetween, however my calculation was fairly close. The maths: I took eight readings a day, then each day I worked out the average (add all eight together and divide by eight). I then worked out weekly averages using the daily ones, then I calculated an overall average of the 12 weeks using the weekly averages (In my case I had three weeks missing, but converted my old HbA1c using the calculator on the page I've link below for those weeks). I then used the second part of the calculator to convert my grand average into an approximate HbA1c reading! Ta daa! Hope that makes sense, told you I'd become a number cruncher!" I'll try it next time with a 'full set' of readings and see how close it comes. [/QUOTE]
