[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2338362, member: 368709"] To be honest for an unmedicated type 2 or someone on metformin+ diet then it's the general trends that are important rather than the absolute numbers. So for me being consistent with which meter/tool you use to judge progress or trends is the important thing. There's a whole other debate about the extent to which average finger pricks/Libre readings correlate to HbA1c anyway with a number of members on here consistently getting HbA1cs which are either higher or lower than would be expected, and that's to do with the processes (and there is more than one method depending on which lab your bloods go to) by which lab results are analysed.
