[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2224716, member: 518059"] Thanks a lot. I know that Hb1Ac tests are pretty reliable, but the scientist in my would like to have this quantified. Is there a doctor/researcher out there who can put a numerical uncertainty on Hb1Ac tests? Is it +-1 or +-3mmol/mol or larger? I know that finger pricks are not totally accurate. When I started measuring last year they were all over, but since last summer they vary only by +-0.8 (standard deviation). Thus the average of 3 months should be meaningful. It is also my understanding - that Metformin should not have a large impact, thanks for confirming. [/QUOTE]
