[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1555963, member: 327005"] One things I have noticed - using my libre - is that on a normal day - i.e. fasting overnight, three meals, max 30g carbs in total - and restricted calories - my daily average blood glucose is about 0.3 mmol higher than my overnight average fasting glucose - this is pretty much standard - so I actually know what my average daily glucose is likely to be just from the daily fasting average. ( it goes up closer to 0.8 mmol if I eat a non calorie restricted amount ) the gap has rarely if ever been above 1 mmol. The corollary of that would be that working backwards - if you are following a restricted dietary regime, which has been fairly stable the chances are that your fasting blood glucose level will be about 0.3 less than the one derived from your hba1C . In any event if you buy the theory that trigs are meaningful to this in some fashion - the thing to check would be what are your trig readings over time and the thing to make sure of going forward would be to make sure that is is always a fasting trig measurement whilst also asking for your blood glucose to be checked at the same time as the blood sample for Hba1C is drawn [/QUOTE]
