[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2046477, member: 94045"] First one A1cNow was 33. Lab test was 43 Second one A1cNow was 39 Lab test was 43 You may recall that my lab tests are significantly higher than expected from all sources of data (A1cNow, Libre after adjusting for lower readings) and multiple finger pricks throughout the day. My GP agrees there is some sort of issue and arranged for my HbA1c to be analysed by 2 different labs from the same blood draw. Normal lab was 44 Second lab was 40. Expected result approximately 36 to 38. For these reasons I now try to ignore my HbA1c lab test as it seems clear to me, and my GP, that I must have long lived red blood cells. I will be doing another A1cNow when I next have my lab test. [/QUOTE]
