Estimated A1c from my CGM

100 days to diabetes remission! It’s an Easter miracle! 🐇🐣A literal rebirth!
As you will know if you’ve been following my blog lately, I recently sent off some blood to MonitorMyHealth for a new HbA1c test. Normally, of course, I would get my HbA1c free of charge through my GP, but they rescheduled my quarterly check-up from last Friday (27th March) to early May. I had really…
