[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1126328, member: 88961"] My finger prick testing HbA1c estimations and lab HbA1c levels are rarely close. I find it frustrating, but it seems consistent. I did look at the fructosamine test some time ago, but would have to do that privately, or overseas. I'm overseas currently, but it appears to be a particularly specialised test, and so would be done in a different country to where I am now. On that basis, I shelved the idea and am just reconciled to things never really closely marrying up. My finger prick tests suggest my HbA1c would be lower than the lab results show, so it's in the safer direction, in my view. Good luck with the test. I'd be fascinated to hear how you get on.
