Narrowing the opening post, because the general version has more than one answer.

Glycaemic markers integrate over different periods. A point glucose and a longer-term marker disagreeing is not a contradiction; it is two different questions.

I have left out the parts I could not verify.

The reason hba1c lag is hard to answer is that the obvious measurement and the relevant quantity are not the same thing, and substituting one for the other is silent.

If you are new and reading this thread for the answer to hba1c lag: the answer is conditional, the conditions are in the third reply, and the rest of the thread is worth skipping.

That is the distinction I keep failing to hold on to. Written down now.

Where I part company with post #16, and it is a narrow parting.

Hba1c lag was covered in the wiki last year and the page has a review date on it, which is a better starting point than my memory of a thread.
