    How do I calculate hba1c using an ‘average’ blood sugar measurement by the Freestyle Libra 2 app?

    Managed to finally get the app to give me a reading. Was 109 last Wednesday, and 4/5 days later, 67. Didn’t think that was actually possible. Just putting it on here as a reminder for the bad times. To show me I have done it once, so can do it again. Thanks.

    How do I calculate hba1c using an ‘average’ blood sugar measurement by the Freestyle Libra 2 app?

    Thank you so much, lovely. I have the app and have looked a few times, but it won’t estimate the hba1c until it has 7 days of data readings. I started late last wednesday night, half eleven at night, so technically 4 days have passed. Two sensors came off my arm on the hottest day of the year...

    How do I calculate hba1c using an ‘average’ blood sugar measurement by the Freestyle Libra 2 app?

    Thank you SO, SO very much. Exactly what I needed. My sugars have been up a bit today, but that is because I have only had one unit of novorapid today, instead of the prescribed 6, as my sugars were 12. I also reduced it to 2 units yesterday and the day before, so it’s a mix of trying to get...

    How do I calculate hba1c using an ‘average’ blood sugar measurement by the Freestyle Libra 2 app?

    Meds - Trulicity injection 1.5ml, once a week. Abasaglar Glargine 35 units, once a day. Novorapid 6 units with main meal. If sugars are over 25 at bedtime, a second dose of 6 novorapid has been authorised by the consultant. Got Freestyle Libra 2 cgm, last Wednesday. In clinic, hba1c was 109...

    Please can people tell me what LCHF tricks they use to replace desserts? I am an ice-cream a-holic. Thank you I have just heard of Appo Ice Cream. How much can be eaten before it affects sugars (a rough guideline, as I know everyone is different). Thanks again.
