Hi all, just wondering if people find the average bs reading for medtronic a1c accurate in terms of A1c.
My recent a1c was 61, my pump says my average reading for 30days in 9.3, which has stayed more or less the same for the past few months. When I put my average bs into the online a1c calculator it says 58. (I am trying to get my sugars down to become pregnant.) I am interested to know what other people's experiences are with this thanks
 
Average BG does not relate directly to a1c
 
An a1c of 9.3 would aquate to an average bg of 12 continuous

Don't forget that a1c if over a longer period that 30days

In the care link reports the assessment and progress report has a 'gmi' this is your estimated a1c

Thanks for writing back
I probably am not explaining myself properly, the average on the actual pump is 9.3 so I think the A1c should be around 7.5ish. I don't have reports as my phone is incompatible with mini med and care link , I don't have a laptop either so my team can't read any reports. I didn't realise the reports could show the a1c. I will need to get a new phone soon in order for my team to read reports.
 
So yes a constant 9.3 would be around 7.5

But it's only going to be close'ish as there are many factors that can affect the final rusult

You don't really need a new phone.. you could get a cheap 2nd hand one that is compatible it doesn't even need a SIM card just WiFi access
 
Yes actually you're right, but I'd still to carry it around so it would connect to the pump. Thanks for the advice and info.

Don't think you need to.. the app back fills data from the pump so you could leave it on your bedside cabinet, when you are close or at night it will download all the data and send to care link.. so if it's only the report side you are interested in then you don't need to carry the phone
