Please remember that the A1c calculations, in the app / website, are not intended to be a replacement for actual lab test. These calculations are only provided to give you an idea of your progress and are based on the overall average of your blood glucose tests. The calculations, within the app / website, are only as good as the information provided and they most-likely do not take into consideration your blood glucose during the night unless you are up and monitoring it. There is no substitution for the actual laboratory A1c test and there probably will never be a replacement.
