[QUOTE="IBEX82, post: 2613375, member: 510042"] So.. around 7 weeks ago I had my HbA1c done and it was 82. I am scheduled for surgery and for that my HbA1c needs to be below 68-69. Due to taking steroids, I’ve now been placed on a combination of glic and insulin - I also low carb. My query is… I’ve been monitoring my BG with finger pricks religiously and for the past 4 weeks or so the freestyle libre. Between the finger pricks and libre, the two apps I use to monitor my BG are predicting a HbA1c of 42-46. I’m due a blood test next week, and that will be 8 weeks since changes were made (diet for the first 3-4, medication for the last 4). What are the chance of a hba1c below 68-69 required for surgery? I know it’s hard to know but how accurate are estimates? Hence my thread title, I may be asking the impossible :) [/QUOTE]
