are ready to test.

with the mealtime. You can organize your data and see how
your test results change before meals, after meals, and when
fasting.
Estimate A1c: Use the estimated A1c (~A1c) tool to facilitate
a meaningful dialogue between patients and the healthcare
professional in between laboratory haemoglobin A1C tests.
