[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2684350, member: 372207"] Wow, I'm now completely puzzled in a very interested way! I asked about the difference in Libreview/Librelink a couple of years ago (from memory), and no-one seemed to have the answer. As for my own numbers, which I don't usually share but they seem to be relevant here, you're pretty close with your guess. Measured hba1c is usually 35 or 36, last time - januari - it was lower due to having had to dial my basal down during the month before the blood draw. Dialling Tresiba down takes a bit of time, and I spent more time in the lowish 4's than I like. If I were to test now I'd expect to be back at a more comfortable 34-36. According to the chart I use, an hba1c of 31 equals an average BG of 5.4, 36 should be an average BG of around 6.0. Which seems to add up with my fingerpricks and graphs. Before I dive down the google rabbit hole to never emerge again, do you happen to have a link to something explaining the difference between (estimated) hba1c anf GMI? Or if you'd like, explain it yourself of course, not doubting you, just wanting to spare you some work! [ATTACH type="full"]66458[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
