My freestyle libre is estimating my a1c to be 6.3 had my blood test today hopeing it to be 6.3 has anyone else been close to the estimateon
My Dexcom G6 prediction before my last HbAC1 was 53, actual test result 50. (CGM active about 85-90% of the time).My last comparison was Libre predicting 26 and the blood test coming back at 37. So it wasn’t too accurate for me. My Dexcom prediction for my last HbA1c was within 1-2 of the actual result.
Hi, as said HbA1c is only part of the picture. For info though, my latest libre prediction was only 1mmol lower than by blood HbA1c which came back from the lab.
I've always been quite pleased with libre accuracy if I've done cross checks with finger prick capillary tests. I know however some aren't as lucky with accuracy from reading on here.
Yes, I was told not to bother with the libre prediction until I'd worn the sensors for 3 months, and of course it depends on how much data is stored too, so the closer to 100% downloaded the more accurate the HbA1c prediction will be. But I hope you're finding it useful and well done on lowering blood glucose levels as it is a lot to learn at first!Well according to the Libre I always seem to have a HbA1c of 58-60 mmol/mol but that’s far from the truth. I am newly diagnosed so my HbA1c is sky high. Initial HbA1c was 134 mmol/mol upon diagnosis and about a month later I was 84 mmol/mol. The longer you have used Libre the more accurate it will be I think because it will have more data
