[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1752408, member: 94045"] When you say quarterly testing, do you mean the HbA1c test, or a simple blood glucose test taken from the arm? If you mean the HbA1c test, you cannot compare it with your finger prick because they are looking at different criteria. The HbA1c is a measurement of the amount of glucose stuck to your haemoglobin red blood cells and this measures average glucose over the previous 2 to 3 months. The simple blood glucose test and the finger pricks are just snapshots of your glucose at the time of the test. [/QUOTE]
