Hi everyone! @daisymae told me she was getting her blood-work done today, and I asked her if she would mind having a contest. She thought it would be a fun idea, so I am presenting the contest here. If you want to submit a guess, send me a PM with the subject line “ **DM’s A1C Contest** ”, and give me your guess. I am doing it this way so that people don’t do that silly Price is Right guessing tactic, like if someone bids $4500, and then the next person says $4501 (and then someone always bids $1 and wins because they did not go over the price… 🙄 Anyway, only blind guesses submitted to me will be accepted. And I will keep track of them all and after a few days I will post the guesses and DM can tell us the winner. Full disclosure, I already gave DM my guess. And her last A1C was 5.3. Also, there will be only one winner (cuz I am not springing for a 100 gift cards!!), so if there is a tie, we will figure out some fairness with it. Anyway, the winner will get an Amazon gift card. Have at it, and good luck! ---

This is fun, AND honors our great poster. So many of us have learned from DM, Nickey, of course, Eric, and all who share on FUD. I’m afraid I’ve been lacking. So I guess 4,8, same as mine! ---

She is one of the most wonderful and beautiful people I have ever known. But…the things I have gotten from her that are the most precious, are things that have nothing to do with diabetes, but rather things about life. She is one of my best friends and I am lucky to know her. ---

Well, for me, I don’t think the a1c is accurate anyway! It is off by as much as .5 from my cgm data! ---

> [@Trying](#): > > It is off by as much as .5 from my cgm data! if I were to rely upon my fsl cgm for anything accurate, I’d be either 6 feet under or high above in the heavens. why I continue to use it is simply beyond me. I wonder what medications I am taking that would alter the readings…hummm. I don’t take Tylenol or Ibuprofen or too much Vitamin C… ---

So it is time to announce the winner!! First of all, thanks for all the guesses sent to me in PM. I will just list the people who are tied for the win. There were 4 correct guesses!! And now for the results… ## First of all, congrats to @daisymae, who had a 5.1 !! She sent me the results: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/f/f253cfdd0945f68253b184b3793af088d11b08a8.png) * * * * * * * * * **Wow, way to go DM!** 🤩 * * * * * * * * * Except, hold on…not so fast with the winning declaration, DM! There were 4 people who guessed 5.1! @Jim_YYC @ClaudnDaye @daisymae @Eric * * * * * * * * * Okay, I know what you are thinking! But yes, I **DID** guess it correctly. I sent it to DM in text: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/4/4b257b57e094079a5e902a9e95c3b816a433ef98.jpeg) * * * * * * * * * Okay, winning your own contest is kind of goofy! So I am going to remove myself from the list. But before I do that, let me just say, The Force is strong with me for my own BG stuff. But over the past several years, The Force has become strong with me for DM’s stuff too. 😉 :yoda: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/03382e355ebb48fc190e044cd2426c750f4eef32.png) Next, I think I should remove @daisymae, because after all, DM you already got your goody from me on Friday 😋, and you have probably already eaten it all! So you don’t need anything else! 😜 * * * * * * * * * So that leaves @ClaudnDaye and @Jim_YYC as the two winners who correctly guessed 5.1!! Congrats guys! I have an Amazon gift card. I can split it between you two or do a tie-breaker. What do you think? ---
