The reason is, as stated above, that the Hba1c is a reading representing your blood glucose levels over the past 2 to 3 months and you would have to behave for that period of time to affect that result. The instantaneous blood glucose reading tells you what the level is right now and you have some choice over when you take that reading. If you always take it when your blood glucose is low then averaging those readings will give you a low reading. Similarly for high readings. In short, when you take the reading affects the result which is not the case with an Hba1c.</p></blockquote><p></p>
