[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2693710, member: 517579"] The fingerprint tests measure blood glucose at that point - and there are ways of producing low or high readings depending on a lot of things, of which food is only one. You also dont have any data from when you're not testing. It might be worth looking at some constant glucose monitor graphs on the Internet- you'll see huge variations in BG over the course of a day. HbA1c counts glycated red blood cells which is a useful proxy for blood glucose over the last three months or so. This means that one measure does not directly translate to the other. To further complicate matters, both tests also have acceptable levels of inaccuracy. I found that my fingerprint results were absolutely zero use in predicting A1c. [/QUOTE]
