What's GMI in HbA1c ?

What's the HbA1c number if the GMI number is 6 ? HbA1c is the only metric I can use. At least Libre2 quoted an estimated HbA1c, unlike Dexcom. Cheers

They’re pretty much the same thing @victorhamesse The GMI just gives an approximation of the HbA1C. My last HbA1C was pretty much spot on my GMI for the 90 days.

“What is Glucose Management Indicator (GMI)?

Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) approximates the laboratory A1C level expected based on average glucose measured using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values. Average glucose is derived from at least 12 days of CGM data. The GMI may be similar to, higher than, or lower than the laboratory A1C. Differences between GMI and laboratory A1C may reflect differences among an individual’s red blood cell lifespan, how glucose binds to hemoglobin, or due to a recent fluctuation in glucose control.”

Thanks, but that's not my question. What you said already I guessed at. What's the HbA1c number if the GMI number is 6 ?

Around 42/43 @victorhamesse if that’s the 90 day GMI.

Thanks.
