[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1696926, member: 94045"] That is nowhere near enough testing to estimate an HbA1c I'm afraid. Have a look at this - type in your 55 in the IFCC box. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] The box on the left is where you get the 7.2 from. This is not the same measurement units as our meters. It is the old way of measuring the HbA1c and is expressed as a percentage. The box on the right is in mmol/l (the same as our meters) and says 8.9. As this is an AVERAGE it is high and means you are missing a lot of peaks, and not accounting for how long you are high after a meal. Depending on what we have eaten, we can peak at any time from an hour after first bite to 4 hours later, and sometimes we can spike to 8 and still be at 8 an hour or two later.
