Long story short, sort of want to see my average blood sugar since using my meter. I know they have HbA1c for that, but I'm not going home to the UK until Christmas, so I have no idea how well my overall control as been. I have 3 meters in total but I usually use Freestyle Freedom Lite. With it's loud BEEEEEEEEEP. and then BEEEP BEEEP when you get the result. ;)

But yeah, do they have that option? Like add up all the recordings and find an average? I could do it myself but that's way too much work :crazy:

All meters as far as I'm know have a 7, 14, 30 day average, check the instruction manual to see how to find yours.

Oh! Just found it! Apparently my 30 day average is 5.8. Not sure what "n=45" means though in the corner. :?

I believe the n=45 means that is the number of tests the average is over.

Abbott give away some software called Co-Pilot for managing the Freestyle. You can manually enter readings into it as soon as you download and install it. It can give stats of all sorts for up to a year or more.

In addition they provide more software and a lead so that you can upload your readings into a computer. Hours of endless fun.

Here is a link to get your started.
