Most of those are clustered around 38 - have a look at the graph attached. The HbA1c isn't actually an average of anything but does show how your blood glucose has been over the last three months ot so, with a big skew towards the most recent month.  An individual fingerprick test can't be used to predict anything - all it does is give you a snapshot of what's going on right now - could have changed a lot in 30 minutes and might change further in the next 30. What you're actually aiming for is to be within 2 mmol/l of the original reading when you;re testing before nd after food.That confirms that your system can deal with that level of carb. If this isn't clear, please say!</blockquote>
