Only one thing matters...
My doctor was totally UNimpressed with all my daily readings and such. Not that he disapproved me of monitoring myself, he was glad I did. It was just that so far as HE was concerned there is only one thing that matters - a laboratory A1C. The "truth test" as he called it. No hiding from your activities for the past 90 days! You can heavily bias your average readings depending on when you take them and how often so the A1C calculation on the site is at best a wild estimate. As for home kits - he didn't think any were worth the cost and recommended I just come in every 3 months which is how often my insurance plan will pay for one.
