This was a study done in 2019 which I've only recently found online.

I've seen historical CGM data dating back a decade or more but this may be one of the first studies using the next generation devices we are more familiar with & can compare ourselves to.
The main takeaways as were revealed at a recent conference, scroll down

Researchers analyzed 10 days of Dexcom G6 CGM data from 153 children (6+ years) and adults with a baseline A1C of 5.1%. The primary findings:
My own observations:
Their average glucose exactly correlates to their A1c as in 99mg/dl = 5.1% A1c.
The GMI conversion you see on your Libre Glucose Report may estimate a much higher A1c than your average glucose so I'm not sure why theirs is spot on.
We have always suspected that some diabetics spike higher than 7.8(140) & herein we have the measured proof.
Thought it was interesting.

Researchers analyzed 10 days of Dexcom G6 CGM data from 153 children (6+ years) and adults with a baseline A1C of 5.1%. The primary findings:
- Among all study participants, the average blood sugar was 99 mg/dl
- Time-in-tight-range of 70-140 mg/dl was 97% in this group of people without diabetes
- Average time in hyperglycemia (blood glucose greater than 140 mg/dl) for the group was 2.1% (just 30 minutes per day)
- Average time greater than 160 mg/dl was approximately 4 mins/day
- Time below 60 mg/dl and 54 mg/dl were both negligible

Their average glucose exactly correlates to their A1c as in 99mg/dl = 5.1% A1c.
