I don't have the best brain for maths but I'm wondering if there is a way to get an idea of your average levels by knowing roughly what your daily patterns are from having measured at home.
Does anyone know if it can be done from several finger prick readings, perhaps looking across different days and calculating as if it happened everyday with a similar pattern?
For example, let's say a fasting of anywhere between 4.8 and 5.2, let's call it 5.0.
One meal a day with before being 5.4;
1h being 8.5;
2 hour being 6.5,
3 hour being 5.5
and between meals being between 4.5 and 5.5, call it 5.0.
Then the other two meals being
before 5.5;
1h 7.5;
2h 6.0
and
before 4.8;
1h 6.7;
2h 5.5.
And before bed being 5.5 - 6.5, call it 6.0.
And just use those figures to make an average reading. Is anyone good at maths?
P.S. I will get an actual HbA1c soon anyway but it would be interesting to try to predict it before I get the real thing done.
