Hi it is JOV

I have added my correlation between HbA1c and waking average to the graph.


It is different to the the other graphs which try to take an average of all readings.

I am quite sure that you can predict an HbA1c from finger prick data with reasonable success but only if you ensure that that your data matches the way in which the model data was collected.

I'll have a look at how my waking reading correlates with my daily average tomorrow when I have worked out some queries in my data base to test the idea that your waking reading will reflect daily averages. I don't think it is as simple as it sounds.

I have been told several times over the years (by different HCPs) that of all the individual fingerstick readings you may take in a day, your fasting/waking reading is most likely to be closest to your average (though obviously is not guaranteed to be so).

Time will tell!!

I tried both converter formulae and they returned almost identical result of 34. I will find out the true result in a few weeks which I expect will be different. But an interesting experiment. Thank you 🙂
