Hello!!First say that this forum is helping me a lot since the anxiety takes something away from me and with the view I already asked for an appointment to the ophthalmologist and I need to go, to see how.Well, I have not been to my endocrine (very badly) since once I lost my appointment and already appeared from there my mother for work things did not focus on getting another.I would have to go soon, see when they meet.When you go they give you as a figure of your hemoglobin ex: 7, 8, 6 .. And I wanted to know, if that figure could be calculated at home, since they do not calculate it or anything and out of curiosity.

At home complicated, but your head doctor with an analysis and in 10 days you have it if it is not urgent :)

@Frifeernandz, look in your glucometer the average of your capillary controls, I leave you a table of the values ​​with if correspondence with hemoglobin, remember that hemoglobin is the average of the last 3 months but above all the last month counts more.

If you become less 6 controls a day, it will be very approximate with the glycometer average, as Gala tells you. Which in pharmacy is more reliable, but to stay calm, okay
If you are in7, you go very well

Hello
You can make an analysis at home with the Bayer A1C Now Selfcheck Kit that you can buy online in the USA.
The price is expensive and varies according to the amount of test that the presentation you buy, there are 2 tests, 10 test and 20 test.
The best option to go to the pharmacy or make a complete analytical if you have not done any to give it to your head doctor.
greetings.
