90 day BG v HBA1C?

[Phil65]

My 90 day average on my meter is 7.7 (578 tests) and I am having my HBA1C done in a week or two........i'm really hoping for a result in the 6s, I've been trying really hard. I'm still new to the pump and I feel quite confident, my HBA1Cs in the last 15 years on MDI have always ranged from 7 to 9....I've never been in the 6s........so, fingers crossed! 🙂

Best of luck Phil 🙂 From what I recall the HbA1c number is generally below the average BG, so you're in with a good chance 🙂

edit: this calculator calculates that av 7.7 converts to 6.7% HbA1c

Hi Phil ...

Best of luck on the hb ... as Northerner says .. hb done at hospital is usually lower than what a meter would suggest ...
