Yes you can infer hb1ac from fingerprick tests but you simply are not doing anywhere near enough to do so.  Your levels will go up and down all day, largely but not solely, dependant on what you’ve eaten.The tests are not going to be out by 10 or more mmol. A couple maybe. You dropped the metformin which helps by reducing  liver dumps (look up dawn phenomenon) and reduced exercise. Both of these may account for some of the change. Did your food intake change in anyway?  Did you double down on “healthy” wholgrains or fruit for example?</blockquote>
