Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boo1979" data-source="post: 1730021" data-attributes="member: 446715"><p>Thats kind of how I understand it but that the result is also inherently weighted towards the more recent BG readings because whilst the average life span of a blood cell is 12 weeks, in any one blood sample if you drew an imaginary divder at say 8 weeks,  more of the blood cells  will be at the ‘younger’ 0-8 week old end of the spectrum than would be in the ‘older’ 9-12 week old end. Hence averaged BG will be more influenced by the youger blood cells - see, age discrimination gets everywhere!</p></blockquote><p></p>
