Hi all from across the pond,
I came this trick a couple months when I started a new job ........ I discovered that my glucose meter keeps a 1 and 2 month glucose average. I use the information and use it with the calculator at the following website:
https://professional.diabetes.org/diapro/glucose_calc
I get a approximated A1C value and use the information to determine if things are alright. Doing this I was able to catch things before my numbers went out of control. This does not replace an A1C test, but you can see trends before seeing a doctor. Also the information could be used as a justification for an actual test.
Some of you may already know this, but I thought should share this ......
