[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2374713, member: 219467"] No the HbA1c is a kind of 3 month average of your blood glucose level. Your monitor will give you a snapshot of your levels at the time you take the reading. If you took a reading say every 5 minutes over a 3 month period (don't try it at home!) then you could approximate the HbA1c but the two are different but connected. The calculator here [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html[/URL] Gives a rough idea. When I was diagnosed for example with an HbA1c of 87 mmol/m my average blood glucose reading from the finger prick test would have been about 13.5 mmol/l (note the difference in units).
