My 24 hour GMI is 5.7. I’ve probably not had an HbA1c below 6.0% since I was a kid. I don’t think I can sustain what granted me this day, it’s probably a fluke. But my recent trends should show an HbA1c between 6.0% and 6.5%.

I hate that some blood glucose tracking apps will report an estimated A1c as anything called A1c, even estimated. Many apps and tools transitioned to calling this Glucose Management Indicator, or GMI, in order to get away from the confusion of why a measured A1c is different from an estimated A1c.
mySugr appears to be changing their app. Which is a great step, especially for an app designed for logging finger sticks, not CGM data. In fact, they're not even going to call it GMI, apparently. Rather, Diabetic Management Indicator (DMI) because their math and estimates will be way different from a CGM based estimate.
This really needs to be done on all similar apps. There's always inevitably someone asking in one of the communities why their A1c is different between the doctor's office and their app.
To those that may not realize: HbA1c is a measurement of glycated hemoglobin, and the blood panel test will directly test this. GMI, on the other hand, is an estimated A1c based on blood glucose trends through some form of measurement, typically CGM, and depends on the accuracy of the measurement.

A strange day. Mixed feelings. I’ve been eating properly to support my #diabetes typically got my #blood #sugars down to 7-10.
Yesterday ended up visiting family and had a McDonald’s. Sugars this morning 12+.I’ve got my #HBA1C blood test this morning. So worrying now whether that will come out higher than I hoped because of that one treat?
I’m hoping it’ll be okay but who knows.

CW: Semi-long discussion about my new diabetes diagnosis, and the fact I now have to take insulin.
So I'm on #insulin now and as of last week, I have been diagnosed as a #diabetic. I only received the insulin yesterday. An appointment with an #endocrinologist needs to be made though in order to figure out if it's Type 1/2 #diabetes.
This, of course, came as a huge shock to me and my #BGL levels have been incredibly high as of the past few weeks, if not months, since discovery.
My BGL has been ranging between 22-32+ mmol/L since finding it was so high all those weeks ago. But this could've been going on for months, and my #HBA1c is 11% for the past three months.
That equates to an average of 15+ mmol/L daily for BGL, my doctor told me. And the normal range for a healthy individual is 4-8 mmol/L.
Huge thanks to my friend, @hiddensoul, as well. He helped me get setup with how to inject my 10 units nightly at dinner time, while giving me a box of needles to use.
I tried desperately to get needles off my regular pharmacist, but the stubborn bastard would not give them to me. He probably thought I was a drug user or something.
