I sort of understand what you are doing now. The area under the graph makes a lot of sense. I have looked at a lot of 'similar' apps and they all use simple average to calculate a1c. I would be curious what the % difference would be for your way against simple average for someone who does quite...

Is it using a simple average for each days readings . Total of readings divide by number of readings ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Can you get a v rough estimated A1c function average by having daily readings averaged by time between readings - maybe the average being the mean between two readings and the end figure and average taking into account a time basis average. I not good at explaining what I mean but hopefully...

Got up 90 minutes ago. Tested and 5.6. Finished drinking coffee half hour ago. Just tested again 7.9. Not eaten anything . Not convinced this coffee drinking is a good idea ......... Not sure how to stop though, easier said than done. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I been on this site for less than a week and it has been a big wake up call. Honestly it is criminal that my doctor telling me for the last two years 1Ac results of 7.0, 6.9 are good because they between 6.5 and 7.0. That doctor is a specialist diabetic dr. Few days ago I had to see a GP...

I did ask him at last visit - do you have anything useful to tell me. Having read that 101 website I can now think of a lot. The only thing he said was he believed a lot of things on the internet are rubbish. BUT he believed drinking a cup of bitter melon juice in the morning after one gets up...

Thanks all for advice. I have read the 101 website. It is all quite astonishing having regard to what doctor tells me (which is not much - except e.g. last visit A1c my reading of 7.0 was good) clearly I now know it is a bad result. This doctor is a specialist diabetes doctor. In the diabetes...

I got USA ppl. Had to put on form taking medication . Took with me letter from doctor to say I go see him every 3 months for A1c and the range. Aviation doctor said he could not issue medical. Eventually medical certificate issued and posted to me from FAA. I did renewal couple of weeks ago and...

I know the doctor who do my aviation medicals for the USA one is allowed to issue certificate so long as no A1c reading is above 9.0. If above that the USA federal aviation authority would have to issue themselves . I live in an Asian Country - just spend time in Australia buzzing about in the...

I don't understand how your result so low. I been told make sure A1C is between 6.5 to 7.0. No ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I am feeling a bit of an idiot. Have the A1C every 3 months. Been doing for the last two years. Results seem ok - 6.9/7.0/7.0/7.1/7.0. Now and then used to do testing myself. But the results never made any sense to me (mmol). Generally a lot of the time above 7.0. So i found it quite depressing...
