[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1216332, member: 88961"] My finger prick testing, Libre and HbA1c scores are never matched or even particularly closely aligned, but as it has been consistently and persistently so, I've stopped trying to prove the un-provable. I figure each time I measure blood; whether by pricking my finger and applying a droplet to a stick, wearing a sensor (measuring interstitial fluid, and mathematically converted, by application of an algorithm) or having venous blood drawn for the lab, each of those could be out by the various regulatory tolerances. There's no way I can prove if the 4.3 I had after lunch on x date was correct, 3 months on, so why sweat it? Provided, on a day to day basis, my finger prick tests are running between what I now understand as my running range, the HbA1c at the end of the period will be around my usual numbers. My Libre suggests I should be displaying an ultra low Hba1c, my finger prick tests still very low, but higher than the Libre, and the venous blood lab results are higher than both. I can, and do, live with that. Not everything is under our control. [/QUOTE]
