The goal of this observational study is to learn why some adults over the age of 65, have A1c tests that do not match up with their blood glucose levels, also known as 'A1c-glucose discordance'. The main question it aims to answer is: Could alternative tests like CGM or personalized A1c provide more accurate diabetes screening in this population? Participants will be asked to perform blood tests every week to two weeks and wear a CGM for up to 8 weeks.

OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

Calculate the Mean Absolute Difference Between A1c-Derived Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) and CGM-Derived eAG
Determine the mean absolute difference between estimated average glucose (eAG) calculated from hemoglobin A1c and eAG derived from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data. This measure will be assessed among participants suspected of having discordance between A1c values and actual blood glucose levels.
Time frame: From 1 week after enrollment to the end of their enrollment at either week 5 or week 10
