What should I do if my HbA1c doesn’t match my daily glucose readings?

If your HbA1c levels don’t match your daily glucose readings, it could be due to several factors. HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over 2-3 months, while daily glucose readings show short-term fluctuations. Inconsistent testing techniques, inaccurate glucose meters, or changes in your diet or medications could cause discrepancies. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may provide a more comprehensive view of your blood sugar trends. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss possible reasons for the mismatch and whether any adjustments to your monitoring routine or treatment plan are needed.
