I have heard you can calculate what your HBA1c could be by using a certain formula to calculate it. Any ideas people? Since i have been on DAFNE my BG have been well managed, and always within range, before i had done DAFNE my HBA1c was 11 |

Thanks... Yeah my overall control since DAFNE has been brilliant, never seen such great BG readings before, always was on the high side of things, and hopefullu this time round HBA1c will have improved from the 11 i had to something a bit more within range |

Novorapidboi - where did you get this from? I could incorporate it into the Diary on here... |

Heard it from a few people on other forums, but it is derived from the formula to work out average BG from an HbA1c result...........one of many sources can be found here........ are you saying you could fire those numbers in to the diary and have a an estimated HbA1c, cool...........you would need to stress its only a guess, or a broad estimate....... |

Warm welcome from me............... DAFNE turns round everyones understanding of how to manage the condition, the condition still remains a pain and unpredictable as insulin needs change all the time...........i have upped my activity levels at night and my blood sugars are all messed up now............. Look forward to hearing how you get on and to discuss any concerns you may have........... |

Being the cynic of the site and the internet, I would say use this with extreme caution. There are a million sites offering suggestions and ideas as 'facts' all over the internet and most have absolutely no scientific basis for what they say. As Novarapidboi says we would neeed to make VERY clear it is only an estimate NOT based on |

You're not a cynic - just more careful and thoughtful than me |

Finding exactly were it came from might be a pain, it is used all the time though, and in fact it has been used in some android apps I have came across were it predicts your HbA1c, but yeah, its only a prediction, and one which has not proved correct for me as yet, but you would need an evenly spread set of results through the day, every day for 90 days to even come close...........and not even me with my constant testing could provide that amount consistently........ |
