This is what it's saying? Are they usually accurate

logging into the libreview.com website is a little closer (for me) Glucose Management Indicator (GMI)
after generating a report. Still a little off but has been usually within acceptable error ratio. 30 days/60days. guess its partly due to cell life cycle alongside possible 'compression lows' or something :) have found in general libre reads lower for me (for some others appears to read a little higher). Current sensor which said needed to replace was reading a fair bit lower if i went via a week data (sensor on day 8) it would be miles out. You can check rough accuracy via fingerprick best done when graph is relatively flat to get an idea of % could be off by.

Hi,

I normally look at A1c over a 90 day or 3 month period?
But even then they can romp in for me 15% higher than what comes in from the lab. (Blood draw.) getting a pleasant report from a DSN.
If your graph has relatively unwavered for a few hours? You could check against a BG meter?

Personally. The Libre still works well for me with the daily managment. (With T1.)
These sensors don’t test blood but the glucose in interstitial fluid so there can be a little lag.
 
For me my libre always reads under. My actual HbA1c after a blood test is usually around 5% higher than the estimation on the libre. So far example 50 on the libre will become 55 from the blood test.
 
Whoops not very good with tech...
This is mine over 90 days and when i get my next hba1c i expect it to be 39 or 40.
The lower mine gets the difference gets smaller too but your real hba1c will be slightly higher.

Good luck

Tony

Thank you Tony
 
I have been wearing the libre 2 for the last couple of weeks. It's estimated Hba1c shows as 30 mmol (4.9%).

I had a blood test on Wednesday and the Hba1c came up as 33 so it's not too far away.
