[QUOTE="Binary, post: 1133251, member: 244920"] So my son had his fourth HbA1c since switching to the Omnipod and his is back down to 6.9 having been given an HbA1c of 7.2 in January. Three out of four on the pump have been given as 6.9. A little odd, I expected better results in January and it was worse. I expected a higher figure in April as it had been quite an volatile period with background changing every few days up and down for about a month not helped by school entering zero carbs into the Omnipod meter at lunchtime and a wedding where we calculate carbs at more then he normally has in a day but it still wasn't enough. Hoping to better 6.9 next time round. I have just started funding the libre and can see some rather large spikes which can can drop just as quickly and is then showing a higher average BG then being calculated by 9/10 BG test. So far the libre does seem to be over exaggerate the spikes into double figures when comparing to BG's by 2 or 3 mmol so I am optimistic that it isn't as high as the libre is suggesting even if it is higher then the average BG figures. With the aid of the libre I am hoping to reduce the spikes and the hypos and by the nature of this improve the next HbA1c in July. [/QUOTE]
