Yesterday I had accompanied a friend to the clinic. They had this small instant A1c machine and I opted for a test. The results were out in 5 minutes. I don't know how accurate the machine is.

My number came out as 5.1  >:(  I was expecting a 4.8 based on my recent numbers. When I put this number in the forum Calculator, I get an average of 104. My meter average is much lower.  ~mad~ ~cnf~

Meter averages are only for the instant that you check your BG. A1c average is for the entire 3-4 months that your hemoglobin cells live. It's quite natural for that small offset. Congratulations on the great number.

I thought so too. Just thought I would take a second opinion from you guys. Thanks.
