[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1531652, member: 410240"] The HbA1c test does not even measure glucose, so just converting units is not enough. Doctors like the HbA1c as it does not let someone mislead them by "being good" for the day before the blood is taken. For us, the BG after meals is most useful, as it is a number I can change within hours by changing what my next meal is so is a good measurement to drive process improvement. Think of BG after meals as QC and HbA1c as a IOS 9000 QA inspection. [/QUOTE]
