[QUOTE="svgittins, post: 2160334, member: 511839"] Here is a follow-up to my original post when I reported that MySugr was estimating my Hba1c ro be in the high to mid 30s but my HbA1c in mid October was 51. Since then I have been much more rigorous and frequent with my testing, as suggested on this forum, though I have also have reduced my carb input (previously I was on a low GI diet, now I have gone more-or-less keto, recently always less than 50 g carbs/day). MySugr is now reporting an even lower estimated HbA1C of 33.5. I have learnt that I do not appear to have big spikes. Even a backslide of eating pasta one evening some weeks ago pushed my BG to just 7.0 for a few hours. With these apparent contradictions I was sufficiently motivated to get a rather pricy (£47) private HbA1c test done exactly 2 weeks after my "official" one done via my GP. TThis second test had an HbA1C reading of 44 mmol/l compared to my 3 month GP check of 51. Now I initially thought this implied the GP test was possibly wrong, but on due reflection in my first 3 months my BG level came down by 5 mmol/l on average a week, so this might just be a natural reduction with a further two weeks of daily lower blood glucose. I live in hope that when I have my next official test (still well over 2 months away) that the mySugr and my HbA1C results are as close as the other posters here.. [/QUOTE]
