Adding HbA1c results to Health app

I’m trying to add my HbA1c results from home testing but the Health App does not seem to allow the user to add that data. I have it from LabCorp tests from a year ago in my health records part but I can’t seem to add new data.

The result I’m trying to add is from an approved self testing device and it’s not calculated guess from glucose monitoring.

I understand that LabCorp data is part of my official Health record. But just like my blood glucose readings the health app allows the user to add their own data. Is this a missing item or am I just not finding the right place to enter it?

Yes I use a similar app that can also generate an estimated HbA1c but it is not the tested result using a meter for HbA1c. I could not find any app that writes to the health app, my app can read the A1c score only.

in exploring this a little further, including trying out some other apps like your I’ve come to the conclusion the problem is with Apple treating HbA1c scores as only a part of your read only clinical record and not something you can add to. This is an unfortunate oversight or shortcoming of Apple’s health app. Just like it you can’t track ketone levels. Guess it’s now a feature request.

There are multiple glucose monitoring app that records a periodic or daily blood glucose level by taking blood sample. In India what I use is BeatO app with BeatO unit which records mg/dL directly onto my iPhone and keeps an average too, that is HbA1c and it syncs to my Health app.
