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.
