Yes, it is about the rate of glycation, I think.
I find that my Libre readings are lower than my SD codefree prick tests, but even it I allow for that, I would expect my average reading (HbA1c) to be better than it is. I mean, how can I possibly have an AVERAGE blood glucose of about 6.8 mmol/l, if my daily tests show that I hit 7 for about half an hour a day and spend the rest of the 24 hours in the 5s and low 6s?
- I'm not complaining. I just think that my HbA1c bears MUCH less relation to my actual blood glucose readings than my health care providers think! lol.
At least the Libre has stopped me worriting about it.
Good luck at the appt,
