Waiting on results for my first h1bac test! Can last night's meal affect this mornings test?

Hi @861
The HbA1c test will show how your blood glucose has been on average over the last 3 months or so.
Your fasting blood glucose can be affected by what you have eaten the night before. It is more of a snapshot of what is happening at the time. We can have our own individual timescales for how long it takes for the glucose levels to settle after eating.
This morning I had 7.2. After late lie in.

Hi and welcome to the thread. The HbA1c is a test which checks your average bloods for the last 3 months and is weighted towards the last month, I don't really think that one day will make a difference to the overall result. A couple of weeks can, as I found out when I had 2 Hba1cs tests within 2 weeks of each other when the results came back there was a 2-point difference which might not seem much, but it can make all the difference between a diabetic or pre-diabetic diagnoses. Hope all goes well.
 
6.7 at 6 AM. Had to break my fast at 24 hours mark last night as I felt the need to take a paracetamol again. I am feeling better now and while the trend is a bit on higher side occasionally touching 8s and staying in 7s and late 6s for most part of last 24 hours it will be hopefully coming downwards.

I hope everyone has a great start of the week. :)
 
GlucoRx 6.2 this morning
Libre2 4.9

Unfortunately have to go with the finger prick as have not seen the 4's for several months now.

Even so I have been feeling very lucky over the last few days as the shop at Creeslough is or was my sons local shop and he had been in there just a couple of hours prior to it blowing up, just shows the randomness of life if he had decided to go to the shop just a couple of hours later who knows what may have happened feel very sad for that community Ade knows many of the people living there.

Late post for me. FBG Fingerprick 8.2 Libre 7.6. I too dream of the too far away FBGs of 5.

At least they are easier to achieve throughout the day.
